Stage 3 - The Greeting Painting

Aimée's work lies in between the boundaries of abstraction and surrealism. Her work is narrative, exploring ritualistic, folkloric practices; alternative modes of spirituality and a belief in the possibility of human transformation. The artist's work looks at the universal desire for spiritual life, a yearning for some higher power or intelligence, or to “reach for something beyond, In her recent work 'Psychic Futures' she has had her 'futures' read numerous times by clairvoyants and soothsayers across the UK and painted their predictions of her future. Marshall sees that magical thinking, on personal myth and human epiphany represent a “reactionary developmental syndrome” that we all embrace to some extent. Her work explores this and questions her own beliefs and coping mechanisms to predict and manifest an ideal future. In the face of an unspoken and intractably apocalyptic sense of the world, the artist looks to rekindle forms of imaginary redemption, which makes her work take on an unworldly feeling as a result.  She lives and work in East London and has a studio at Bow Arts.
