Marianne Kolb (born 1958 in Bern) is a Swiss painter who lives in California.[1] She is known for her emotional figurative paintings.[2]
Kolb paints directly onto the canvas with her hands, placing her figures in isolation on a monochromatic, textured background.[3] In regard to her figurative work, the artist stated that "The human figure is the vehicle with which I can most positively relate."[4] Kolb has also stated that the imagery, "derives from direct observation of individuals transmuted by her own feelings which become fully known to her during the painting process."[5] Kolb's work has been located within a legacy of Northern European paintings (including artists such as Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon),[5] although journalist and art critic Daniella Walsh describes Kolb's work as exhibiting "quieter, inner angst…..To the enlightenment or distress of her audience, Kolb paints the soul."[6] Kolb's work is part of the permanent collection of the Boise Art Museum.
Kolb is a member of the California Society of Printmakers.[7]
