Marie Magnetic
Marie Magnetic is a Chicago-based creative. She is inspired by her identity as a queer, Jewish, Indigenous, and neurodivergent woman while examining dystopia, delight, and delusion in society. Growing up in a small town in southwestern Michigan helped to shape Marie’s values as she witnessed friends and family suffer from addiction, mental health issues, and poverty.
Marie received a B.S. Degree in Psychology from Central Michigan University and is currently working on a BFA at DePaul University. She has exhibited in group shows at the Chicago Fine Art Salon, Woman Made Gallery, Fulton Street Collective, and a solo exhibit at Little Broken Things Hair Salon. Recently, Marie was the recipient of a Merit award from Light Space & Time Art Gallery and an artist grant from the New York Foundation for the Arts.
Art is experimental for Marie- she uses painting, collage, and mixed media to delve into a world where familiarity and the unknown merge. Her artwork reflects the experiences of being othered, whether as a woman in a patriarchal society, an ethnic minority, or someone with a disability. Additionally, she is influenced by dada and surrealism, working to create a sense of investigation for the viewer. Overall, Marie aims to make people deliberate alternate existences and captivate their minds through her expression, balancing absurdity and uneasiness with enchantment and hope.
