Description
Marilyn Henrion's latest works, part of her Patchwork City series, capture the dynamic energy of urban landscapes. Created between 2015 and 2017, these collages combine digitally manipulated architectural photographs with hand-quilted elements.
The artist's use of pigment-printed linen, cut apart and reassembled on stretched canvas, creates intricate compositions that reflect her own experience of a particular place. This technique draws inspiration from earlier works, which incorporated hand quilting on silk.
By transforming the "facts" of the material world, Henrion reflects her own perspective on the urban environment, much like Edward Hopper's work in the past century. The result is a unique blend of art and observation that invites the viewer to consider their relationship with the city.
