Acrylic and ink on cardboard, 28 x 55cm
Danish artist Marianne Thygesen’s vibrant paintings are partly informed by her training as an architect. Playful and rich in storytelling, her works are inspired by myriad sources including medieval art, Mayan culture and Islamic symbolism, as well as the natural and man-made world that the artist observes around her.
Marianne’s characteristic use of robust, ‘raw’ corrugated cardboard makes her ‘feel at home; I feel free to work intuitively’. Her constructions - which range in scale from small to larger-than-life- often break free of the traditional rectangular picture format; in this case, the wider format reads a little like a mural.
As with many of Marianne’s works, creatures and organic forms are interwoven with one another; in the background, meandering pathways sit quietly under the surface.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
