French artist Marlene Moris lives and works in Paris. First studying architecture at the Ecole d ‘Architecture de Paris Belleville, influenced by her Czech grandfather, Lubomir Slapeta, and also playing violoncello professionally, she finally decided to mainly express herself through painting. With a traditional background in painting, she worked with, among others, Jean-Baptiste Sécheret and the Pracontal painters. Moris also uses various printmaking techniques, regularly participates in contemporary painting events in Paris, and travels regularly to Barcelona for print editions.
Her recent works are poetically dedicated to the fragility and transience of nature and its perpetual motion, such as rivers, flesh, spaces. In her latest series “Gardens” Marlene Moris explores fluid media on hanging textiles and plays with gestures, colors and the resolution of the image.
