Marion Abraham: Collapse Euphoria
Marion Abraham is a painter living and working in Lutruwita/Tasmania who examines the inner workings of the self. Heavily influenced by classicism, art historical references and traditional painting techniques, Abraham approaches the medium in a subversive manner creating uncanny compositions of bodies in the landscape.
A contemporary take on a romantic pastoral portrait, this new three-panel work for Artspace grapples with being 鈥榗ollapse aware鈥欌�搑esiding between the slipperiness of the past and the instability of the present, in a moment permeated with conflict and precarity. Investigating the sensation of longing and the collapse of time, Abraham conjures a frenzied evolutionary diagram: a chronology of a painting composed of half-formed memories which cannot be fixed to a singular moment. Unidentified figures tussle and collapse onto each other, moving between moments of brutality and tenderness, suspension and animation, tension and release.
