First Batch - Fresh From the Oven

Inspiration

Why does Marcel paint? Simply because for him, there's just nothing better.

Art lasts. It does not fade. Amidst all the daily activities and accomplishments, artwork is something that will not be forgotten. It is a way to leave behind an imprint of one brief human existence - that, at least, is the idea. Art provides meaning.

And yet, Marcel's paintings are not a recording of his thoughts or emotions. He writes music and lyrics as Wordsworth wrote poetry: during a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings. But his art takes too long to create to capture fleeting feelings, however powerful. Instead, Marcel's art is an experiment and an evolution. And he is looking for any type of reaction.

"Calming chaos. Somehow uplifting darkness. Marcel has the eye and the feel of a pro, but with grassroots ethics and training. The paintings are open to interpretation, and free of heavy background. He's a refreshing difference to the heavily weighted meaning in a lot of the work I'm seeing today. Whatever happened to art, for art's sake? Whatever happened to color and shape and design, without overarching attitude and aggressiveness? His paintings bring it back.


With an undertone of the dismalness that is life, Marcel's first works are more than expressively good art. They're a front which is backed by amazing potential, which I can't wait to see."
