ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Gripped" is a transfer collage on canvas. The original composition is a raw ripped 2-element paper collage. This collage was mirrored, enlarged and then printed. The print is transferred to the canvas and finished with pastels and paint. Images are from vintage magazines; the hands are from a publicity for wrists watches. The portrait of a lonesome Marilyn is thoughtful and emotional. The mixture of these two images has a powerful impact. The transfer image reproduced on a large scale is a unique artwork on its own. "Gripped" non exclusive copy rights were sold and feature on the Telepathy album and CD cover 'Burn Embrace'.

Born in Rotterdam in 1962, Marian Williams lives and works in France. Whilst recycling objects, authentic photos and original illustrations from vintage magazines and books, she creates dynamic, striking analog compositions in paint, collage and assemblage. Her work has been on show in France, England, Italy, Albania, the Netherlands, Serbia and in the USA.   The works, influenced by pop art, surrealism and dadaism, show originality and freshness, in which classical art, retro chic, and kitsch are combined in a challenging way. The artist's political engagement for the environment, women's rights, freedom and social justice, are recurring themes. Her story telling is sincere, expressed in various ways, sometimes minimalist, sometimes complex. 'When I was five years old I jumped in a bin at school to save schoolbooks from the 1950's which had been thrown away. Everything about these book was precious to me; the images, the letter type, the torn pages, the colours and the memories. They reflected the history of daily life gone by. They were art to me."
