Marc Poisson

Artist Profile

Born 1952- . After establishing himself nationally as a professional artist in South Africa for many years, also selling artworks in in various parts of the world such as Canada, US, United Kingdom, Ireland & Japan.
During that period he exhibited in many group and one-person exhibitions.
Subjects painted included seascapes, landscapes as well as historically significant towns and villages throughout the country, well known for his ability to create strong light used to highlight his work often to the point of the monumental.

Early in 2000 Marc arrived with his wife Janetha, also an artist, to live permanently in Australia.
However, for the first fifteen years in Sydney he was unable to adjust to painting Australian subjects.
Then, after working for a number of years at the Wollongong Regional Art Gallery, where he worked with many of the old master Australian artists, he suddenly regained his inspiration – having absorbed what makes this country so special for artists.
Since then his painting ability has been restored to the extent that his painting now flows constantly; inspired from a deep appreciation for the stunning beauty to Australia and the world-class work by it’s artists of old and present.
His works now include warm glowing subjects of Sydney Harbour, the Coastal Illawarra towns & beaches, seascapes & country scenes among
Many of the works painted depict an almost iconic version of appealing subjects in the vitality of his colourful paintings – produced in impasto brushwork and palette knife.
The celebration & joy of the beauty of our sun-drenched land are portrayed in his creative expressions emphasising its unique diversity. We look forward to following his rejuvenated artistic journey.
