Marina Collard
Franco
Acrylic on Canvas
Dimensions: 150cm x 150cm
Artist’s statement
Housed in the landscape of the Alpi Apuane and an adjacent community, Franco encompasses a memorialised past, sensate present and imagined future. It enmeshes the elemental realities of a forbidding and bountiful environment – storm-felled trees; metamorphic rocks – with the quotidian physical labours and ancestral ties of a gradually vanishing village population. Rather than a legible topography unspooling towards the viewer, the eye is drawn inwards, to the responsorial foundation of the work.
All purchased artworks must remain in the exhibition until 12pm on 29 November 2026.
Artworks can be collected between 12pm and 6pm on 29 November 2026, or between 10am and 4pm on 30 November 2026.
For every £1 spent with SUSSEX contemporary, 70p goes directly to the artist.
