Marion Stuart is another one of our artists who’s talent was recognised by Vista Alegre and underwent a residency there in 2017. Marion continues to use porcelain in her works to create personal and powerful artworks! The Tools series first featured in our gallery at Marion’s solo exhibition CURSIVE. Each piece is hand sculpted porcelain, which in their physicality juxtapose the guttural desire to use them with the fragility of the material.

Marion stated:
"I created the tools because they are tied to the ones my father left me when he passed away. These tools were more than just objects; they were his entry into the trade of carpentry. When I inherited these tools, I found they had little use in my own hands - a relic of a past too significant to discard but no longer practical for the future. There’s something particularly striking about a hammer that can no longer hammer, about an object whose purpose has been rendered futile. It's a tension I find fascinating.”

By inviting Mann to do a residency, Vista Alegre recognises his talent and immense skill in creating beautiful works of art with a powerful undertone. His works are loved for their sensitive combination of ancient mythologies, Queer histories and his love for nature, all combined into skilfully crafted and striking artworks.

Along with multiple group shows and his debut at The Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead Heath.
