Marlène Mocquet's art asserts itself, above all, as a feast—generous and overflowing. Within this abundance, she unfolds narratives rich in vibrant colors that shift between the wondrous and the unsettling. In her painting ‘Le coq en fuite', Mocquet creates a phantasmagorical world through her unique techniques. Moving from the formless to the defined, she masterfully balances movement with meticulous anatomical precision. Composed on cotton canvas, her enchanted fable reveals figural elements with voluptuous detail. At this banquet, a multitude of mischievous and intriguing beings are invited: eggs, ladybugs, and of course an anatomically detailed runaway rooster, evoke a world of polarities – masculine and feminine – and invite viewers into her fascinating imaginative world.
