About the Artist
Marlie Mul is a Dutch artist whose distinctive sculptural and installation practice often delves into the less glamorous, often grotesque, aspects of urban existence. Her work is characterized by its use of unconventional materials, such as simulated grime, artificial sweat, and other synthetic substances, which she employs to create tactile and visually unsettling forms. Mul's art comments on contemporary anxieties, the traces of human activity, and the overlooked residues of modern life. Her pieces invite viewers to confront the uncomfortable realities of consumption and decay, transforming the mundane and repellent into subjects of artistic inquiry with a unique blend of humor and critical observation.
