The Grotesque

Marcel's characters are void from narrative, transported, they float in the dissolved spaces of the page. He creates 'stills' that reference cinema and pop-culture- from wonder girl to ET. These absurd frames at a glance, pilot a role very ordinary- his non confrontational style softens his shocking and grotesque subject matter: with crocodiles eating decapitated female heads to drowning girls and circus clowns. Even once realized, to the viewer his images are Innocent, like that of a bizarre and twisted dream.
