Description

This paper collage creates a contrast between classical elegance and modern elements. A woman in a white dress, evoking the Romantic era, is depicted at the center. Her face is obscured by a strip of paper labeled "maidenform," suggesting a critique of modern beauty standards. The background presents a verdant landscape, adding a peaceful and timeless dimension to the work. The integrated text and newspaper clippings skillfully juxtapose tradition and contemporary issues. Through this bold composition, the artist questions identity and perception, inviting the viewer to reflect on image and advertising. This inventive and insightful juxtaposition lends the work remarkable depth and originality.

The perfect shape, of a maiden dressed in white; Maidenform. Authentic illustration from vintage magazines. ( The artwork is delivered with Velcro for framing. The frame is INCLUDED free of charge for orders within the European Union.)

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."
