About the Artist

Loren Marks Lives and works in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Her artworks present ethereal and dreamlike scenes whereby figures emerge from the alchemic realms of paint. Marks has an intuitive and meditative relationship with paint and describes the time spent in her Te Atatu studio as ‘ritualistic’. The artist discusses how her figures reveal themselves to her while she works the canvas. Rather than alluding to specific characters the forms appear ambiguous and free of a fixed identity.

The artist states: “all paintings are about the self in some way. And I feel human forms represented in paint are universally alluring.” For this reason Marks’ paintings are endlessly captivating. They are both familiar and uncanny, pulling you in and revealing moments of lucidity.
