Marianne Kolb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marianne Kolb (born 1958 in Bern) is a Swiss painter, currently living in the United States. She is self-taught[1] and known for her emotional figurative paintings[2] that address the human condition.

Kolb paints directly onto canvas with her hands, placing her figures in isolation on a monochromatic, textured background.[3] The artist has stated that the imagery, "derives from direct observation of individuals transmuted by her own feelings which become fully known to her during the painting process."[4] Kolb's work has been located within a legacy of Northern European paintings (including artists such as Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon[4]), although journalist and art critic Daniella Walsh describes Kolb's work as exhibiting a "quieter, inner angst…..To the enlightenment or distress of her audience, Kolb paints the soul."[5] Kolb's work is part of the permanent collection of the Boise Art Museum.

Kolb is a member of the California Society of Printmakers.[6]
