Marion Quick LOCAL BODIES RAW

Marion Quick is a West Texas raised painter and printmaker who has focused several decades of painting and defining the landscape he grew up in. He is best known for his watercolor works of the area.

LOCAL BODIES RAW is a different look at the same landscapes in black and white reduction of the image, omitting color, vegetation and the footprint of mankind. Quick has long considered the depiction of the local landmarks as a figurative endeavor. LOCAL BODIES RAW is the presentation of the image as a body; isolated, nude and out of context with the surrounding landscape -- representing the visual "icons" of the area as the "bodies" they have become to those who live here and to those passing through who resonate with the space and volume of the area. The works are all acrylic paint on Nujabi handmade paper.
