Description

This artwork features a minimalist composition set against a vast, pale desert landscape. Dominating the foreground are two abstract, humanoid silhouettes. One figure is a deep, rich blue, exuding a sense of depth and introspection. The other is a gentle pink, offering a softer, more serene presence. They stand closely together, suggesting a connection or bond, perhaps portraying unity amidst the simplicity of their form. Above the figures, a black bowler hat with a white rim floats suspended in the sky. This surreal element adds an intriguing twist, suggesting themes of imagination or the blurring of reality. The hat, seemingly defying gravity, introduces an element of whimsy and mystery. The background sky is a soft blue with subtle wisps of clouds, creating a sense of tranquillity and openness. This expansive backdrop contrasts with the solidity of the figures, highlighting their prominence and evoking contemplation about human presence in an infinite world. The artwork’s distinctive combination of surrealism and abstraction invites viewers to ponder identity, connection, and the boundaries between reality and illusion. Its bold colours and simple forms make a striking visual impact, engaging the viewer with its enigmatic charm.

Presentation

Marie-F Turner is a French-British artist living in Dubai. Self taught artist (other than illustration), Marie started her artistic journey as an illustrator, creating characters for greeting cards and stationary experimenting at the same time with various medium such as paint, pens and collage. Marie then moved quickly towards a more abstract style of artwork. Her contemporary style is a mix of photography, bold abstract shapes, and narrative characters and objects.

They all take place in surrealist colourful compositions where they interact and connect between themselves. Inspired by cubist and surrealist movements, Marie adds to her artwork a personal touch having travelled extensively, mostly in Asia and the Middle East where she settled now, after years of living in Paris and London.

The advocacy for a better understanding between cultures is at the very core of her creative work. This is particularly obvious in “when East meets West" Collection, where oriental elements are mixed with western values and vice versa.

As a fine art painter, digital artist, photographer and illustrator, her artwork portrays a happy fantasy world aiming to give the observer a feeling of positivity and optimism. In addition to that, Marie often mentioned that her studies of Law & Political Sciences have greatly influenced her work and her way of understanding the world. These elements help her to interpret and translate in a more accurate way, any commissioned work she undertakes.

Marie's Happy Fantasy World of art talks to many and can be seen regularly in various exhibitions in London and more recently with other artists in UAE, at the French Pavilion EXPO 2020 Dubai, Alliance Francaise and more.

Her Ongoing Collections of works are “Ballerinas and Figures", “Life is Fun", “Abstracts", Abroad", “When East meets West", “My illustrations", “Home & Objects", “Mia4Kids".
