Acrylic on cardboard, 30 x 42cm
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, resembling an eccentrically-shaped map or ancient crest.
Populated with fluttering butterflies and a characterful blue swan-like bird, the work’s French title translates as ‘Butterfly Landscape’.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
