At Thornwood Gallery, we are thrilled to feature a breathtaking new series of paintings by Marcel Demagny. Demagny’s work transcends simple abstraction, using bold palettes and aggressive textures to draw viewers into profoundly intimate spaces.

Rouge 

The crown jewel of the collection, Rouge commands attention from the moment you enter the room. Demagny employs a striking palette of warm, deep crimsons and fiery scarlets to create incredible optical depth. The heavy impasto technique gives the canvas a physical weight, translating raw passion into a tangible, energetic visual experience that resonates instantly.

L’Éclat 

Contrasting the heavy heat of Rouge, L’Éclat explores the fleeting, delicate nature of light. Brilliant strokes of gold and amber pierce through a muted, charcoal background. Demagny captures the exact moment a sunbeam breaks through a heavy canopy, making the piece feel both hopeful and deeply grounded in its stark contrast.

Ombres Bleues

In this cooler, more contemplative piece, Demagny shifts his focus to twilight's quiet beauty. Layered indigo, slate, and sapphire tones bleed into one another, creating a fluid, almost aquatic atmosphere. Ombres Bleues invites quiet introspection, pulling the viewer into a space of absolute serenity without relying on recognizable shapes.

Seeing these masterworks through a screen only tells half the story. We invite you to visit Thornwood Gallery in Santa Fe to experience the texture, scale, and undeniable physical presence of Demagny’s latest paintings firsthand.
