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 ‘Mum’s Green Cup’ Mansfield spotlights a clue. A teacup sits in its set despite being broken, a sentimental vestige of the artist’s mum. It is a study of familial relationships devoid of family members – a trace we can only glimpse peripherally.

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, ‘Mum’s Green Cup’ is an elegant find.
