Opening - Wednesday 5th February 5.30-7pm
Loren Marks (b.1991 Aotearoa, New Zealand) is an artist based between Naarm Melbourne and Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Her artworks present ethereal and dreamlike scenes whereby figures emerge from the alchemic realms of paint.
‘With motions reminiscent of Helen Frankenthaler’s “soak-stain” technique, Marks applies pools of thinned pigment to her surface. Colours bloom and mix into one another as they soak into the fibres of the canvas, bringing forth impressions of classical scenes and landscapes. From these abstracted planes, the artist adds and removes pigment allowing her figures to appear and dissolve into the turpentine washes of each layer.’
A new essay by Maya Love will accompany the exhibition.
