This leaning towards books has led the artist naturally towards illustration, writing novels and book binding decoration. His novel "4 fauteuils blancs", published by the poetry review Florilège and the White bookbindings are the outcome of this work. The White bookbinding of O. Mérijon's writing, created in close collaboration with Jacqueline Poydenot, the bookbinder, was exhibited at the "Bibliotheca Wittockiana", the book and bookbinding museum in Brussels in 2002. O.Mérijon's style is not one of rupture in the modernist sense, since his early works he has embraced a concept linked to memory. Claude Gaspari, who he enjoys meeting and whose career began as a photograper with Giacometti, often speaks to him of the whiteness which is exuded by "La Cité Idéale" in the Museum of Urbino in the Marches in Italy. The world of art is an invitation, O.Mérijon is compelled to make the spectator think, he invites him to look, to finish the work, to explore and exploit this gift of freedom.
