About The Artwork
As I was walking through the center of Paris the other day, I came to the Fountain des Innocents – a square normally bustline with all kinds of activity. This day, however, like most of the days of the preceding 6 months, the square was virtually empty. No tourists, and only a few people. My first reaction was, “how sad!” But my second reaction was, “you need to appreciate this moment, because, yes, while it has a very unusual character, it will not always be like this... in a few months it will be back to its normal, bustling self. When I arrived at my studio, I started a drawing to capture both the sense of isolation and the sense of energy and possibility. So there is a solitary figure, but the little dot in the distant corner suggests the potentiality of the changes to come and the return to vibrant activity.

France
American expat living in Paris. Registered landscape architect in another life who maintains a passion for all things architecture / landscape architecture / urbanism - related. I've been creating art and exhibiting for more than 40 years. Moved to Paris 2+ years ago to study those parks associated with a moment of violence in history, where today there is little, if any evidence of that violence -- the parks are typically places of beauty and recreation. That, too me, is a fascinating dichotomy. So far I have about 50 sites that fall into that category, and i'm sure I will find more with additional research. So the project is to catalog the sites; document, through verbal and visual histories how they have developed; document through my own photography how they are being used today, and then to create new interpretive artworks, blog entries, etc. It's a fascinating journey, and I invite you to come along!! In addition to the originals for sale here on SaatchiArt.com, you'll find my blog at www.marcolsen.net.
