artist/ Robert Marc

FRANCE

Robert Marc, a French painter born in Auxerre, began painting at an early age, attending the Ecole Nouvelle de la Suisse Romande.
Inspired by the Russian avant-garde and Constructivist movements, Robert Marc mainly produced oils on canvas, cardboard or panel.
“From a choice of abstract forms: rectangular or square planes, arcs of circles, staircase shapes, triple curves, circular figures borrowed from Tatline*, whose variations he explores, the register evokes the elements of a constructivist scenography”(1).
Robert Marc’s first solo exhibition was held in 1988 at Galerie Artko (Toulouse), and a year later in New York. He has exhibited in Switzerland, France, the United States and Japan. Between 1994 and 1995, two exhibitions paid tribute to his work in Paris and New York. After his death, his wife continued to present his art until 1998 in her Paris gallery, Galerie du Ressort. In 2011, a retrospective exhibition was held at the Alon Zakaim Fine Art Gallery in London.
