GWEN MARCUS SCULPTURE

---

Noted sculptor Gwen Marcus, FNSS has exhibited in numerous shows throughout the United States and is a part of many important collections throughout the world, including Taiwan, England, Australia and Switzerland. A child prodigy, Marcus began exhibiting her work in 1966 at the age of nine.

Critics have praised Marcus for her sensitivity and comprehension of the human form. Each figure evokes a distinct vision, a mysterious alchemy of sensuality and spirituality. Every Marcus image is powerfully and painstakingly executed, and each figure demonstrates her demand for the highest degree of excellence and quality in her work.

Marcus talks about the strength and energy of her sculpture. "The eye never stays stagnant. In viewing my work, the observer is drawn in by the rhythm of the life force of the piece. Most of my figures are self-contained and introspective. Pieces are not formed on the surface, but rather they are pulled from their inner core."
