MARLIES DU VALLON LOHAN

My work is a visual journey into the image of the female form, a testimony of passing moments, creating a narrative of experiences.  The interaction of the inner world and outer influences are united in my communications. The energy of strong colours and the honesty of form correspond the feeling of the moment emphasising the diversity of my visual statement.

Memories are constantly manifested in the process, revealing new expressions and reinventing new realities. These new realities speak of isolation in the world of unspoken words, nothing to say. Images are more abstract almost like cartoons. empty speech bubbles exist in the world of communication.

After years of working with the self, the female form I rediscovered the joy of drawing, taking the line on a visual journey, finding a new language, a new handwriting. Beginning with a curiously empty mind watching the form telling a story vaguely knowing the end result. Sometimes emotionally charged images transform from spontaneous patterns, creating an energy and rhythm uncovering a concept of intriguing concept of expressions.
