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

In 'Upstairs', Mansfield creates the striking impression of a bedroom. Through the artist's eyes, the room is half-glimpsed, creating the impression that we are visitors gazing into a private space. This work exemplifies the artist’s ability to imbue an everyday interior with narrative intrigue and a distinct sense of atmosphere.

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 art, still lives and female artists, Mansfield is an elegant find.
