Mando Marie - Take Me Down

Rooted in her American upbringing and now firmly based in Europe, Mando Marie divides her time between Amsterdam and her apple farm on Portugal's Silver Coast.

"Take Me Down, like many of my titles, like much of my work in general, is all about multiple meanings and feelings. To be ‘taken down a notch’ is humbling. To be ‘taken down’ to the beach is a nice afternoon. The richness of meaning in a single expression or image is something I’m always hunting for. The surface is always one thing, but the ideas and areas underneath need to be multiple, complex, and authentic." / Mando Marie

In a harmonious blend of urban edge and refined command, she seamlessly merges graphic stencil elements with painterly finesse, creating a visually complex language of timeless style.

This exhibition is on show in the STRAAT Gallery from May 12th - June 23rd, 2024. This exhibition can be visited with a general admission ticket to STRAAT.
