Marceline Mason
Biography: Marceline Mason's paintings are meditations on the urban landscape at night, her work focuses on reversing the role of the figure and the natural world. She depicts trees and foliage as figures set against a human world of light pollution and concrete. Focusing on the application of color, she creates limited, tonal depictions of nature cast in man-made light. In fleeting symbiosis, plant life and natural atmosphere exist alongside traces of human ephemera. These scenes are based on lived experiences from night walks and moments of elation in viewing something beautiful alone. Mason moved to Detroit to receive a Masters of Fine Arts in Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art (2017). Many of the scenes depicted have been inspired by Detroit and Hamtramck where Mason's studio and home are located. Her work may be found at MarcelineMason.com
