Inspired by Parisian life in a post covid world, McCrickard’s urban subjects are vibrant and beautifully observed, exploring scenes from her local life. Jacquemot-Derode’s sculptural, gorgeous vessels are made in response to McCrickard’s paintings.
‘New Romantics’ explores scenes from her local cafés and bars, or on the streets, where Goths and Punks gather curiously on corners, and there are also domestic tableaux featuring family feasts, and imagined scenes based on the artist’s fugitive drawings lifted constantly from real life.
In an unusual collaboration, Jacquemot-Derode’s sculptural, gorgeous vessels are made in response to McCrickard’s paintings as ‘Ceramic Counterpoints’. The images presented are oils on linen, drawings, offset drawings worked up as monoprints with hand-painted sections, and new dry point editions.
Art First is delighted to be working with Marisol. Her new sculptural, sumptuous pieces in richly glazed earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain have emerged as a response to the paintings for New Romantics by her co-exhibitor, Kate McCrickard.
