SCARLETT RAVEN & MARC MAROT THE ARTISTS CHANGING THE WAY YOU VIEW ART
SCARLETT RAVEN A graduate of the prestigious Central Saint Martins School of Art, Scarlett’s fans include Orlando Bloom, Lord Jonathan Marland, Duffy and Take That (all of whom own original pieces). Passionate about colour, her dynamic approach often sees her use her hands rather than a brush to apply oil paint. Her sweeping arm gestures create movement and direction, with the artist being likened to Anselm Kiefer and Jackson Pollock. Scarlett says: “The paint is thrown on, splattered and flicked. When it lands, it captures the flowers blowing in the wind. The movement must be in every layer, so when you step back you feel like the landscape is alive. It creates a whole world of magic.”
MARC MAROT Marc has enjoyed a successful career as a record executive, including an 18-year stint as the president of Island Records. This saw him work with many of the UK’s most successful recording artists, including Pulp, The Cranberries and U2. In 2014, Scarlett approached Marc to be her manager. Inspired by the potential of technology, he suggested using the augmented reality programme Blippar for her paintings and the pair formed the creative banner Maven Art. With Scarlett painting the artworks and Marc creating the digital animation, the duo conceived The Danger Tree. Marc says: “We don’t hold an exhibition. We hold a visual experience.”
