OBLIQUE Gallery
From April 6 to May 10, 2024, Marie Gailland exhibits at the OBLIQUE gallery.
"Mystery... Painting the invisible world. Invisible, but so present and so alive. To seek out the light and bring it down. To translate a reality deeper than that of appearances. To make abstraction figurative. Go beyond the world of opposites. The mutual interplay, the marriage of two forces. The inner need to go beyond sensations to touch the breath, the spiritual emotion, the transcendent."
Marie Gailland was born in Martigny in 1954, and attended the Ecole cantonale des Beaux-Arts de Sion (now EDHEA), then the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, with courses at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and Jean Calvin in the 1970s. This was followed by several study trips to the United States, Canada and India... She has been a member of Visarte since 1986, and has received the Prix d'Encouragement from the State of Valais (1991), the Visarte grant for a stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (1993-1994) and the Prix de la Ville de Martigny (1998). A major figure in Valais painting, she lives and works in Martigny.
