A message for Marie – I notice that in 2022 you were living in the Loughborough Junction area and wondered if you have painted any Brixton scenes. I grew up in Brixton in the 1950s when it was all streets of Victorian villas, many of which were later demolished.

Marvellous paintings by Marie Lenclos: luminous, sharply angular, bristling with linear tension – and imbued with mystery. Superb!

Marie, your paintings are splendid. Beautiful handling of color and surface. And you bring new life to this location you paint. I agree with the above comment that these would make great prints.

Striking images

Postscript: Intrigued, I went to Marie L’s website: http://www.marielenclos.com/about

She paints in oils and in one photograph you can see a rather large canvas.
I’ll enjoy my morning coffee while admiring more of her art seen on her pages.

How striking these paintings are! Chilly buildings yet here such warmth to view.
I, too, wonder how small/large these paintings are–if huge one would feel as if one were actually standing on the street outside those size-as windows!
The ‘window panes’ that are cast by the sun in the middle of ‘Hoxton from the train’–superb!

What a discovery! The sharp skillful stabs of color/shadow here are so descriptive. I usually
gravitate to work that is crusty, layered and slathered — This work has given me a whole other
visual language to consider/admire. A masterful artist, with a great eye for “what to leave in, what to leave out”.

Many thanks, GA.

I really love these artworks. The green and blue shutters give me a feeling of being invited in to see what’s beyond.
