Suzanne Marcelle

A visual artist based in the South of France, my work investigates the connections between landscape and its unique perceptions through creations blending collage, oil painting, India ink, and graphite pencil.

My artwork seeks to convey a simple and sensitive interpretation, focusing on visual impressions and inner feelings.

Nature is a source of fascination, both fragile and powerful, an anchoring point, an aesthetic guide.

I explore the shaping of an ecosystem that art helps to question: feeling alive amidst the universe and bearing witness to it.

Suzanne Marcelle – to connect the viewer to the canvas’s space – uses a “natural” fulcrum as a mere pretext, whether it is animal or plant, usually a photocopy, surrounded with enraged brushes, torn pieces of paper, mixed inks. This fulcrum quickly gives way to abstraction.

Compulsive gestures oppose our weaknesses, our qualities, our inner landscapes to the original serenity. Then, one has to take a step back to better understand the overall consistency of the composition: from abstraction to figuration, our tensions are being pacified, the painting stands as a promise of recovery.

Mystery inhabits Suzanne Marcelle’s work.

The exhibition showcased at the Lambert gallery, Secret Flow, takes the title of the last series of paintings – the idea of a sudden arising as well as the space of a landscape in the making. Just like a deposit, the fragmented space of the diptychs, opens up to a nebula that is light but dense, aerial but abyssal.

Working with pencils, oil and collages, the works question the very sources of creation, the roar, and the flows going through us.

The shape-shifting work of the artist opposes the wide and colourful paintings to the black and white series Paradise Island, or the mise en abyme of that very same image revisits a ghostly space or sea and mountain that seem to blend into each other.

Finally, the installation “Rideau” (Curtain), large aerial pieces of paper like futuristic laces, adorns the wall, which comes to disappear.

The series is displayed as a large panoramic shot; the viewers face abstract convergence lines that invite them to walk through an unreal yet present floating landscape.

Like Basho and his 111 haiku poems, the installation uses the poetic codes with an optimal use of resources where graphite and ink brighten up the collages.

Each piece makes sense in its uniqueness but as a whole they become a landscape, a floating horizon.

Marcelle’s artistic approach is rooted in the idea that landscape is not a fixed image, but a lived experience. Her paintings and multimedia works evoke the quiet power of nature: the weight of stone, the breath of the wind, the murmur of water.
