Marianne Igel / Materials and paintings
Mixed media: paintings and layers
Paint, paper, pigments and marks in the material: Marianne combines different means in her mixed-media work. Four documented pieces show the different ways these pictures can come together.

Four mixed-media works
The selection includes abstract painting and a figurative collage. Each catalogue page shows the details on record; unknown dimensions and dates are left open.
Untitled I
Mixed media
Three colours and an edge: oxide red and orange at the right, a broad white sweep straight through, a grey round form below. The border of the white is not painted but torn — where it meets the red it frays and leaves a black wedge standing. Arcs are scratched into the grey form.
Untitled III
Mixed media
Laid on thick and drawn through while wet: a white stroke rises from below and fans out at the top like a stem, a red and a slate-grey rectangle stand at the left, and yellow glows above. The scratched marks go deep enough to show how the picture is built and not only what it looks like.
Marrakesh
Mixed media, 120 × 95 cm, 2014
“A true explosion of colour” was how the Oberbayerisches Volksblatt described this painting when it hung in “Ursprung Erde — Farbe und Form” at the Kunstverein Bad Aibling in July 2014. Marianne worked pure pigments from Morocco into the surface.
Cattle, in four parts
Mixed media
Four sheets that belong together: cattle over German newspaper, worked over in charcoal and paint, and annotated by hand.
From pigment to newspaper
In ‘Marrakesch’, made in 2014, Marianne incorporated pure pigments from Morocco. The painting was shown at ‘Ursprung Erde’ in Bad Aibling, and the exhibition record is preserved in the archive.
‘Cattle, four parts’ combines newspaper with charcoal, paint and handwriting. The two untitled abstracts show torn edges, palette-knife marks and lines in the applied paint.

At the studio in Bad Feilnbach-Au near Rosenheim, the surface of a painting can be seen differently than in a photograph. Contact Marianne to arrange a visit and ask about a work’s price and availability.
