Riassunto

Playful, hallucinogenic, obsessive, and fantastic, Marlène Mocquet’s paintings are striking for their spontaneity and freedom. Drawing on art history from Symbolism to Surrealism to Expressionism and action painting as well as on more contemporary images from the world of manga and cartoons, her explosive paintings, populated with animals, monsters, and anthropomorphic objects, lead viewers into a dreamlike universe. Part Tim Burton, part Betty Boop, part Takashi Murakami, Mocquet’s singular faux-naif style is unforgettable. In the first monograph dedicated to this up-and-coming artist, more than 100 of Mocquet's paintings are stunningly reproduced. This volume is published in association with the artist's exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, France. Marlène Mocquet is a captivating introduction to a rising star.
