Marion Bolognesi:
So I firmly believe that the purpose of art is the process of creation. Putting your dreams on paper (or canvas or plaster or clay or wood... you get the point) for the world to see, in effect putting your life on the line to show off your work... Taking the risks that might mean rejection to grow and learn and show your innermost thought. (ok dramatic but i think you get the idea)
Marion Bolognesi's work is.... not like that. Now don't get me wrong, it is beautiful. But her work is highly commercialized, made for the purposes of selling a product rather than conveying a message, the process doesn't seem to be as important, there isn't much to interpret, and I don't feel anything when I look at her work.
Marion Bolognesi lives and works in New york City where she splits her time between accessories design and her personal passion for expressive, illustrative watercolor painting. She received a BFA with a focus in Illustration from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Boston in 2003 and has exhibited her paintings and work around the globe. No small accomplishment indeed, regardless of how I feel about her work personally. Besides, she is from New York City, where all the great modern artists come from. Her art has been used in magazines and advertisements, and they are really quite beautiful and distinct... if not a little creepy:)
