SEE YOU SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, 12 PM–5 PM
MARLIES GELDOF
Marlies Geldof (1986) is an artist with a particular fascination for round organic forms, structures, geometry, and bright earthy tones. From colorful to sleek and from organic to geometric, there is a great deal of variety in Marlies's work. Characteristic features include the predominantly round panels on which the work is created and the use of resin.
Marlies loves to experiment. According to her, that is where unique opportunities and truly surprising results lie. This is reflected in, for example, the resin drops, matte and glossy combinations, coarse crackle techniques, optical illusion, and shadow effects.
In terms of materials, many of Marlies' works are often finished with a high-gloss resin layer or combinations of coarse textures with resin. Furthermore, she works with wood, brass, aluminium, acrylic paint, various crackle media, cement, gold leaf, pigments, spray paint, and occasionally creates work on a pedestal.
She finds the inspiration for her work primarily in nature. The color, texture, or form can usually be traced back to a natural process, such as cracked earth, rain, forest, swirling water, or forms that arise in nature.
After having walked several paths, art and creativity proved to always be a common thread in her life and her true passion. Marlies now spends a large part of her time creating personal work and commissioned pieces.
