Marion Charlet French, b. 1982

Marion Charlet’s art is driven by an imaginary that crosses reality in powerful compositions, whose primary function is to assert an aesthetic where colour is both the pretext and the text. Working from photographs that she takes herself and then modifies on her computer, the artist firstly created a world of original landscapes and interiors, often architectural, surrounded by lush vegetation, and devoid of all human presence.

After graduating from the École des Beaux-Arts, the Villa Arson (Nice), the Chelsea College of Art and Design (London) and the Institut Supérieur des Art Appliqués (Paris), she currently lives and works in Paris. She was also the winner of the Prix Art Collector in 2018 and the Prix de la Fondation Colas in 2016.
