Loren marks spoke to Beth and Sofia on the Various Artists podcast at 95bfm about her latest exhibition Saudade at Sanderson.
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.
Saudade is a Galician-Portuguese word that has been used in music and poetry since the 16th century. Although the word has no direct English translation, it refers to a feeling of bittersweet longing, a persistent but indefinable yearning for something absent.
