Born 14th September 1963, artist painter, digital foto, drawings and videomaker Half Belgian and half Italian, Marc Carniel is a complex and controversial artist who employs is talents at the tipping point of safety and familiarity.
By juxtaposing imagery of everyday situations and modern iconography in strange and unfamiliar contexts, his work aims to descontruct artificial paradigms created and portrayed throught modern day media.Thus sacred icons from our childhood such as Batman, snow white, Bambi, Hansel and gretel are thrown into realms of the lascivious, the corrupt and eerily unfamiliar and are depicted in grotesque, surreal or erotic contexts aimed at unsettling the viewer by their polarity to the assumed iconographic reality .Beside his multiple cultural references, his technique is multilayered and complex. Paintings, photography, digital works, videos, texts, installations and music are often mixed in his projects.Marc Carniels works have been shown regulary at the Brussel contemporary Art Fair .Alessandra Masolini ; Sharpcut Visual Arts Project
