Exhibition information

Oil Paintings: 

‘Dissimilarly Similar,’ inspired by reflections in wine glasses and being a non-identical twin. Oil on canvas. Framed size 86 x 66 cm. £850

‘Late Night Musings,’ inspired by creating relationships between disparate things. Oil on canvas. Framed size 73 x 53 cm. £850

Soft pastel works:

 ‘Orange Dragon,’ inspired by the way we want to make sense of what we see. As I was working the orange dragon, birds, wolf and fish emerged as the layers were added. Soft pastel on board. Framed size 90 x 60cm, £650

‘Maiden Blew,’ inspired by orchids and female profiles. Soft pastel on Ingres paper. Framed size 52 x 42 cm, £150

Mono print:

‘Lost,’ inspired by a ‘What if …’ moment. Made by taking a print off a print made using paper stencils, with a high degree of unpredictability. Mono print on paper. Framed size 92 x 71.5 cm. £475

‘Fairie-Seahorse,’ made in a similar way to ‘Lost.’ The paper stencils used were drawn in illustrator or by hand and laser cut. Mono print on paper. Framed size 88 x 65 cm. £425

‘Prayer,’ inspired by the intuitive use of ink through a silk-screen with collaged shapes added. Mono screen print with collage. Framed size 77 x 60 cm £350

 

Artist information

Marigold creates vibrant, colourful visual conundrums that come from being a non-identical twin. She uses abstracted forms for the viewer to interpret as they see it. 

Marigold is based in Banbury. She studied Contemporary Fine Art MA(merit) and BA(Hons) 1st, at Northampton University from 2015 – 2023. In 2024 she made ‘Testament,’ an installation for English Heritage, in Rushton Triangular Lodge.
