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

In ‘Discarded’, a chest of drawers lies like a toppled cow on the side of the road. Mansfield’s simple composition betrays intrigue – the meeting of public and private, furniture laid like a racecar beside the highway, the unknown life its cavities once held.

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, Mansfield is not to be ‘Discarded.’
