New & Noteworthy Artist

Marylin Cavin is a Franco-Swiss artist who studied art in Paris where she lived for about thirty years. She has been regularly exhibiting in galleries for 25 years and has participated in numerous contemporary art fairs and exhibitions. She received the Taylor Foundation Prize in Paris. She now lives and works near Avignon in the south of France.

After years of recurrently working on themes of the vegetal and the mineral, themes wrongly referred to in French as "still lifes," the need arose for the artist in 2016 to develop a new reflection around "living nature" human. Since then, she draws her inspiration from her surroundings, from her loved ones, but also from outside, in public places where she takes photos that serve as a basis for constructing and composing her paintings.

Marylin Cavin's current works feature men, women, sometimes children, often alone in the midst of a purified, abstract environment, in situations reflecting our contemporary world.

The artist's intention is not to tell a story. "Everything is open, possible, she says. Everyone can imagine what they want from these scenes. The canvas shows nothing more than what we see. These humans are simply there. We observe them, but in reality, it is a reflection of ourselves, the canvas is a mirror. What matters to me is to show a suspended moment that can reveal each of us."
