Marlène Mocquet: Selected works, 2018-2022
Marlène Mocquet, born in Maisons-Alfort in 1979, currently lives and works in Paris. After graduating from l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, she established herself as a recognized artist with her paintings and ceramic sculptures, which shape a peculiar, hectic world. There is something surrealist and fairytale-like about the enchanting bestiary of Marlène Mocquet. Her ambiguous creatures, both threatening and jovial, suggest the naivety of childhood and a more disturbing world at the same time. The work of Marlène Mocquet is characterized by close attention to materials: the vibrant colors are dribbling and overflowing. Her horrific birds, deformed animals, and nightmarish characters stare at you with round eyes as each artwork tells a story.
