As we close out the week, we end on an A Portfolio with French realist painter, Marion Bataillard. We also included an (in French) documentary on the artist shot by Alain della Negra. The Ardèche, France based painter had a solo show with Galerie PARIS-B this past Fall, and we just loved all the works. 

Marion Bataillard is a French painter born in 1983. She studied at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Strasbourg under Manfred Sternjakob and Daniel Schlier, then at the Leipzig School of Art in Neo Rauch’s class; she lived in Berlin until 2013. In 2015, she received the Grand Prize of the 60th Salon de Montrouge. She now lives and works in Ardèche. In a few years, Marion Bataillard has risen to the forefront of young contemporary French painting.
