Marion Abraham is a painter living and working in lutruwita (Tasmania, Australia) who investigates inner workings of the self. Embracing a fiercely tangible approach to the medium, Abraham infuses subversive qualities with traditional painting techniques to execute dynamic compositions focussed on the body and the landscape. Depicting bucolic life with bodies embracing each other in verdant fields or caressing animals, clad in white t-shirts and tracksuits, the artist presents a distinctly contemporary take on the romantic pastoral portrait. Blistering and brooding, Abraham relishes in the grimy nuances of life lived honestly and effusively with an energy that transcends the canvas.

Abraham holds a BA of Fine Art from RMIT, Melbourne.
