"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."
