Internationally acclaimed painter Marta Marcé has produced Pinballing, a limited edition print inspired by her commission for the Infection and Immunity Clinic at The Royal London Hospital.
Marta Marcé is a painter who uses systems and geometric composition to create tightly choreographed playful paintings which are developed through game rules and chance. The games or systems used in her work are devices that highlight the aspects of painting that excite her and order its unpredictability. Her interest lies as she says in the, “reflection of our human condition in relation with the act of painting”.
Marta Marcé was born in Vilafranca del Penedes, Barcelona, Spain in 1972 and works between London and Berlin. She studied her MA at the Royal College of Art (1998-2000) with a Bundy Scholarship and her Degree in Barcelona at the Facultad de Belles Arts (1990-1995). Her recent exhibitions include “Flowing (A Series Trajectory)” at Rilfemaker Gallery, London; “IKI” at MasArt Gallery, Barcelona; “Punto Aparte” at Al Borde Gallery in Venezuela and ‘Reframing’, curated by Barry Schwabsky at CCA in Andratx, Mallorca, Spain.
She was awarded an Abbey Fellowship at the British School at Rome in 2008. During July/September 2007 she was the artist in residence in Camden Art Centre. She has programmed a debate around the subject of Abstraction. Her work was nominated for the Jerwood Painting Prize 2001, touring at Jerwood Gallery, London and Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow. In the same year she also had a two-person show with Sigmar Polke at Milton Keynes Gallery. Her work was selected by New Contemporaries 2000.
Marcé’s work has appeared in many books, including Phaidon’s New Elements of Abstract Painting as well as in The Guardian, The Times, Time Out, Tate Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, Art Review, Art World, and others.
