Ensemble
with Marianne Walker
Presented as part of Le Printemps du Dessin 2024
March 26th, 18-20h
Atelier 11 Cité Falguière, 75015 Paris
As a contribution to the 2024 Printemps du dessin, L'AiR Arts invites British artist Marianne Walker whose recent project takes the ideas of Inclusivity and Ensemble directly from the International Olympic Committee's mission.
During the event, Marianne will present her drawings that blend human, plant and animal elements into figurative forms that speak to the agentive energy required to be faster, higher, stronger and together. By making drawings that embody the transformative process of animistic change, Walker is proposing a vision of inclusivity and togetherness that bridges both the human and natural worlds.

Walker's hand built three-dimensional drawings evidence her interest in folklore and devotional sculpture, their fragmentary forms morphing into signifiers of adaption and survival.
Walker approaches drawing as an act of enlivening, seeing the process as a route to exploring an animistic approach to the plant and animal in the human. In the process of making, the pencil or ink knits together with the sculpted language of the form to become a hybrid object that hovers between both disciplines. Her objective is to escape the rectangular page and push the two-dimensional medium of drawing into becoming a three-dimensional entity that can confront a viewer. |
