Agnes Vandermarcq
Agnes Vandermarcq, a French artist residing in Singapore, employs her seasoned and emotionally charged technique to convey her unique perspective on art, celebrating the enchanting beauty of serendipity and the interconnected narratives within a tranquil, Asian-inspired backdrop.
After studying fine arts in France (at the Bordeaux University of Fine Arts), Agnes Vandermarcq worked in various French museums. Later on, it was her four-year stay in Italy that triggered her artistic adventure. Ancient techniques such as fresco and tempera, learned at the Academia Linearius in Rome, are at the heart of her artistic creation.
Living for many years in Belgium, Agnes trained in printmaking academy under the artist Kiki Crevecoeur. She specialised in various metal engraving techniques.
Having arrived in Singapore two years ago, she currently splits her time between Europe and Asia. Bringing her own press with her, she also works regularly in Tiong Bahru, where her friend Cheva opens the doors to her studio: The Bee’s Knees Press.
In her current creations, Agnes combines engravings, ancient documents, and fragments of paintings. She enjoys evoking memories and improbable geographies. Agnes has been exhibiting regularly since 2004 in France and Belgium, both in group and solo exhibitions.
