Gerda Marschall skillfully interprets reality
with poetry and passion in her internationally renowned paintings that are both elegant and energetic. An
established Canadian artist, Marschall’s works evoke both visual fascination and joyful emotions in viewers
and collectors alike.
The artist lives in
eastern Ontario on the Ottawa River surrounded by nature and the many gardens that she and her husband have
created. This innate beauty serves as a constant inspiration for her work.
Ardent brushstrokes give
her paintings an impetuous aura. Energetic bursts of pigment and bold strokes reflect her abundant energy and
zest for life. Her oil paintings are a hymn of beauty and joy. Exhilarating or mild, always stimulating,
Marschall’s art celebrates the spontaneous energy of nature.
Marschall’s
expressionistic landscapes and exuberant florals form part of many corporate and private collections both in
Canada and internationally. She is also a noted philanthropist and generously donates her paintings and time
to charity.
The Kurbatoff Art Gallery, located in
the heart of South Granville’s Gallery Row in Vancouver, will be showcasing Marschall’s works from March 1 to
15.
