Artists Statement:
One of the topics that bonded Gillie and Marc on the night they met was their mutual love for and devotion to animals. Gillie had never been to Australia and she was dying to see a kangaroo. Marc promised he’d make sure she’d get to see one. Months later, Marc took Gillie to Alice Springs where they saw a mob of wild kangaroos. Gillie and Marc love kangaroos because physically they can’t go backwards which means they are always moving forward. Dogman and Rabbitgirl also live by the philosophy of not looking back because forward is where all the opportunities are.
"The world depends on contemporary artists to challenge life as we know it. We, the contemporary artist, pull apart the world, so it can be put back together as something different."
As husband and wife, Gillie and Marc, are Australian contemporary artists who collaborate to create art as one, applying the iconic imagery of the dog/human hybrid to celebrate the powerful spiritual relationship that exists between man and animal.
Gillie and Marc reference their own remarkable love story in their works, perpetuating a pursuit of happiness and encouraging us to challenge the status quo and the perceived safety of societal convention. Gillie and Marc’s unparalleled love is the cornerstone of what they are and of what they create.
Gillie and Marc first met in Hong Kong. She was a nurse from England and he was a boy from the ‘burbs’ of Melbourne. Instantly they realised they’d found their soulmate, someone to start a journey encompassing their mutual love for art and adventure. Seven days later they were married in the foothills of Mount Everest. They not only share an unsurpassed dedication to their art but also love for their two children, whom Gillie describes as their ‘best friends’ — along with their fur baby Indie, of course.
With a 20 year history of collaboration, Gillie and Marc’s works (paintings and sculptures) have received acclaim worldwide and are held in collections both nationally and internationally.
As a Gillie and Marc premier gallery, Curate not only exhibits a vast array of Gillie and Marc bronze sculptures and original paintings but we also have access to much, much more.
