Marcel Speet

Marcel Speet (Netherlands, 1951) is a contemporary artist whose diverse practice includes painting, drawing, assemblages, installations, and photography. His work emerges from an encounter between material and vision—informed by nature, architecture, fashion, and his personal history—and deploys a rich and abundant artistic language.

Since attending the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 1969, Speet has been engaged in a relentless search for freedom. He explores complexity through texture, color, and composition, challenging established dimensions and inventing new paths of expression. Through disruption, rearrangement, and play, he opens up unexpected spaces.

His works are featured in private collections in Europe, the United States, and Asia (New York, London, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Rotterdam). Now based near Bordeaux, he continues his work characterized by dynamic compositions and vibrant colors that exude vital energy.
