BIOPHILIA

Posted on July 10, 2019October 21, 2021 by petleyjones

Marie H. Becker paints with an edgy sense of humour: Acute insight into environmental detriment surprisingly juxtaposed by a bright-coloured splash of belief that everything alive shares a unifying commonality.

“Diverse influences inform my art. From my love of the frescoes of Giotto and early Renaissance art, to folk art, colour field paintings, embroidery, and textiles. These might all find their way into my imagination and paintings: This rich historic archive leaves me free to pull together polar images that yield modern and occasionally wry messages’, Marie shared with us.

A clever show – curated and designed in the most unexpected way!
