Description
'Les Regards 1' is a mixed media composition on canvas. The work is an enlargement of Two-elements brut collage on paper ( For Your Eyes Only 21) representing a young woman holding a child (background) and a detail of Nathalie Nattier's portrait (left). In this collage all images are from authentic vintage magazines. The detail of Nathalie Nattier's portrait is from 'Films pour Tous', 1946 for the film ' Les Portes de la Nuit'. The 'Regards' series is produced with techniques that make each composition unique and original. The original collage is mirrored, enlarged and printed, then transferred onto canvas and finished with oil paint and pastels. Torn paper is added to the composition, this paper is from French 'Illustration' Magazines dating 1914-1917. The aged and worn paper adds to the nostalgic aspect of the portraits.
“This eminently captivating work of art is distinguished by the ingenuity of its composition and the intensity of its expression. The canvas is dominated by a fragmented portrait where the artist skillfully plays with the elements of juxtaposition and superposition. A woman's face is partially veiled, creating an aura of mystery and intrigue. The color palette is subtle, mixing shades of gray, white and black, punctuated by the red shine of the lips. This striking contrast immediately catches the eye and accentuates the eloquent silence of the character. The use of paper fragments suggests a collage dimension, adding a unique texture and depth to the work. The work skillfully juxtaposes the realism of facial features with soft abstraction, constructed through soft lines and blurred shapes. The tactile aspect of the fabric that the delicate hand seems to grip adds a tangible and almost palpable sensation. This creation stands out for its ability to evoke a range of complex feelings - introspection, secrecy, and the duality of identity.
Presentation
Born in Rotterdam in 1962, Marian Williams lives and works in France.
Although art is all around within the family, Marian choses to take various detours in life to finally arrive at her true passion.
After studying physical education and physiology she specialises in management of sport events. A career that continues after arriving in France in 1987, as managing director of a New York based design company.
Her passion for art, graphics and images never left her and in 2010 she definitely turns towards collage, painting and sculpting.
Since, her work has been on show in France, England, Italy, Albania, the Netherlands, Serbia and in the USA.
Whilst recycling objects, authentic photos and original illustrations from vintage magazines and books, dating from 1900, she creates dynamic, striking and colourful analog compositions.
The artist's approach to collage is rich and large; from different angles, formats and styles; on paper, canvas, mosaics or as sculptures.
The mixed media compositions are created with paper, ink, pastels, acrylic and oil paint.
Printed material is cut, ripped or torn and sometimes used as ink transfers.
The 'recycle art' sculptures are installations and compositions made out of vintage three-dimensional elements.
The works, influenced by pop art, surrealism and dadaism, show originality and freshness, in which classical art, retro chic, and kitsch are combined in a challenging way.
The artist's political engagement for the environment, women's rights, freedom and social justice, are recurring themes.
Her story telling is sincere, expressed in various ways, sometimes minimalist, sometimes complex.
“ Collage for me it is the most enjoyable and accurate form of expression.
It is story telling; transforming images that are charged with concepts and ideas into new compositions.
With my compositions I hope to make the viewers question what is normal and expected.
I was born in a free country and raised in an eccentric family who fought for equal rights, emancipation and social justice.
I hope to be a source of inspiration to think independently and question society."
