Sanderson are pleased to announce representation of Loren Marks.

Marks is an artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Her artworks present ethereal and dreamlike scenes whereby figures emerge from the canvas.

Marks has an intuitive and meditative relationship with paint, which she describes as ‘ritualistic’. The artist discusses how her figures reveal themselves to her while she works. Rather than alluding to specific characters the forms appear ambiguous and free of a fixed identity.

Marks was the recipient of the Whitecliffe College of Art and Design top student award while completing her undergraduate degree. Since then, the artist had a successful solo exhibition at Sanderson in 2023 followed by exhibiting in ‘Contemporary Figurative’ a group show curated by Dr Julian McKinnon at Webbs, Pōneke Wellington, and ‘Paint like a Girl’ at The Tuesday Club as part of the Auckland Arts Festival 2023.

Marks has her next solo exhibition opening at Sanderson 23rd January 2024
