River Room
Marli Thibodeau
Marli Thibodeau “Freedom Loves Discipline”
Opening reception Saturday, October 9
from 2-4 p.m.
River Arts of Damariscotta presents a solo show of Marli Thibodeau’s work in the River Room. The show, “Freedom + Discipline,” runs from October 7 through October 27. An opening reception and artist talk on the language of non-objective composition will be held on Saturday, October 9, 2 – 4 p.m.
Marli Thibodeau is a contemporary artist born in the Hudson Valley of NY and currently living in Rockland, Maine. Thibodeau’s work is influenced by the natural world and the lineage of Abstract Expressionism. Marli Thibodeau immerses herself in the study of the landscape around her and in the inner landscape of self-discovery through movement and visual arts.
Thibodeau says, “I believe that everyone has a unique way of expressing the experience of who they are, and I’ve discovered that mine is through un-choreographed visual and movement art. I study the structure and movement of the natural world around me and bring that experience into the studio when I paint. This body of work explores the idea of the freedom that resides inside discipline. As an artist, I find my greatest freedom comes from the structures of discipline, and I’ve further explored the use of structure/ discipline and how it relates to intuition/freedom in these paintings.”
Thibodeau maintains a year-round studio in Rockland Maine and teaches Azul Conscious Movement, a path of personal transformation. Her work has been exhibited in Maine and is held in private collections throughout the US and Europe. She can be found at www.MarliThibodeau.com.
Show runs from October 7 through October 27.
