Laplane Marion | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

With her figurative and poetic works, Marion reveals the magic hidden behind the daily life of humanity in her urban theater. Behind her lens, she observes and collects the stolen moments that touch and inspire her. Through each individual, close or anonymous, the city gives itself up to her like a diary. Her imagination then weaves on the canvas a close link between reality, memories and fantasies. The artist works in oil or acrylic and sometimes adds chalk, felt pens or crayons. With tight and shifted framing, she accentuates nuances and contrasts. She admires artists who tell the human and the light like Alice Neel, Edward Hopper, David Hockney or Raymond Depardon. For Marion, beauty is all around us, and finally, it doesn't matter what the subject is as long as it has a story and emotions.
