Marie Mansfield’s work centres around people and places in an unexpected dance. Her landscapes can be devoid of people, yet contain traces of their presence – a spectral energy that conjures melancholy, nostalgia and bemusement.

In ‘1am’ two deckchairs sit waiting in the backyard. They crest under an absent sitter, iridescent in the moonlight. There is a sense of intrigue and unease – an absence that is pregnant with unsaid meaning.

Mansfield is an esteemed contemporary artist. In 2021 she won the Portia Geach portrait prize for women and in 2020 completed a residency at Bundanon. She is also a Doug Moran, Archibald and Mosman Prize finalist.

For collectors of contemporary landscapes, still lives and female artists, collect ‘1am’ before lights out.
