ABOUT THE ARTWORK

'Sleeping Beauty' July 2023 Inspired by the story of the Brothers Grimm, the artist portrays Rosamund in Dornröschen. Sleeping Beauty sleeps for 100 years surrounded by rose bushes that form a thick wall of thorns. In the background we see a green forest that seems to continue semi-transparently in the portrait. The Sleeping Beauty and the forest sleep as a unit pierced by a giant rose stem. The rose stem and a red petal cover the woman's face. The original portrait of the dancer Estelle Reed is by the Dutch photographer Paul Citroen, 1931. The rose stem and petal are vintage images from a 1970s issue of the French magazine 'Realities'. Unique artwork. 'Sleeping Beauty' is a mixed composition on canvas. Transfer collage, paper collage and oil paint. Varnished, signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.

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."
