Description
This artwork presents a striking and surreal interpretation of a modern cityscape, characterized by its minimalist approach and symbolic elements. Dominating the composition are several iconic skyscrapers, each meticulously depicted with clean lines and subtle shading, creating a sense of depth and realism. The buildings stand against a stark white background, emphasizing their geometric forms and towering presence. In the foreground, human figures engage in daily activities, each poised on rectangular platforms that disrupt the conventional use of space, suggesting an interplay between urban life and architectural grandeur. These figures range from a couple dressed in formal attire, hinting at a ceremonial event, to individuals engaged in mundane tasks, underscoring the diverse narratives within the city. A vibrant yellow circle, suggestive of the sun, anchors the scene, casting an ethereal glow over the cityscape. Perched atop this sun is a lone camel, a whimsical yet poignant symbol that bridges tradition and modernity, adding a layer of cultural commentary to the work. Flanking the buildings are lush trees, their organic shapes contrasting with the rigid architectural structures, symbolizing nature’s persistent presence amidst urban expansion. The subtle reflection of the buildings and figures in the water-like element at the base adds a dynamic aspect to the composition, evoking a sense of continuity and balance. Overall, the artwork masterfully combines architectural precision with imaginative elements, inviting viewers to ponder the relationship between humans, nature, and the built environment in contemporary urban spaces.
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".
