Her sculptures could be called «the art of exalting
the female body», since Marion
BURKLE mainly
sculpts women’s bodies
Bronzes of refined volumes,
stylised, but of infinite and imperceptible sensuality. This
extreme femininity can also be found in a range of jewels
where the precious metal merges with semiprecious stones
in a similar burst of creativity.
Blonde, slender and almost fragile, Marion
BURKLE works
one of the hardest materials to give life to, namely
bronze. Today, she offers us a collection that reflects
the joy of being a woman.
Although the theme may lead us to think otherwise, the
sculptures of Marion BURKLE are never frivolous.
The fiery material must be mastered and the bronze
sculptor knows that she/he aims to provide eternity to
her/his works. There is little chance of bronze being
destroyed. Therefore, what the hand of the sculptor creates
will, no doubt, leave an indelible mark and cannot
be treated casually. This is why Marion BURKLE sculpts
with force and determination.
Self-taught, Marion BURKLE can now measure
herself with the greatest, as she works with a rare elegance,
and an inner sense of aestheticism and purity.
Her favourite
theme remains «the woman»,
ethereal and moving, eternal and disturbing. Voluptuous
bodies that show only
the essential, that is «femininity»
Faceless
bodies that trigger the imagination. Who are they? Where
do they come from?
One thing is certain, they are smooth
and alive. Despite the bronze material that defines them,
they are warm and call for caresses. But if you rich out, they shy away and twist in lascivious and sensual
poses. Provocative, but never vulgar, Marion’s women
are soft and moving, somewhat like her.
Of German origin, but settled on the French Riviera,
she has recently created a range of jewels and office
accessories. She keeps to the same theme and it
is always a success. Her sculptures are the basis
of her new creations. Adding the sparkle of
semiprecious stones to gold or silver, she offers us a
remarkable collection.
A refined and original collection which is totally captivating.
