MARIE CLOQUET
Marie Cloquet’s work consists of constructing large-format hybrid landscapes by recomposing black and white photographs of nature which the artist tears apart and then reassembles in a different order, creating melancholic and mysterious narratives. Her work oscillates between photography and painting, simulation and representation, fragmentation and unity, and the strangeness and familiarity of visual isotopies and fictitious topographies. In her process, after the reconstruction of the images by collage, Cloquet covers her works with transparent watercolour colours, which, together with the dimensions of the pieces, imply a further degree of abstraction, fantasy and unreality.
Marie Cloquet has shown her work in venues such as S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium (2020); Dhont-Dhaenens Museum, Deurle, Belgium (2010); Jason Haam Gallery, Seoul, Korea (2018); 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan (2016), among others. His work is in the collections of S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium; Museum M Leuven, Belgium; Art Collection National Bank of Belgium, amongst others.
