David Marron: Encounters<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was fortunate to catch this exhibition, held over the May Bank Holiday weekend at Lumen Studios<\/a>, The Crypt, St John on Bethnal Green.<\/p>\n

David Marron is both an artist and a paramedic.<\/p>\n

The exhibition consisted of\u00a012 pieces, charcoal, acrylic and collage on paper, standing on and supported by crutches.<\/p>\n

These are multi-layered and complex works. As you stand before each, more unfolds with every moment of prolonged gaze.<\/p>\n

Marron’s\u00a0probing work\u00a0is steeped in the essence of humanness, in the complexity, vulnerability and\u00a0fragility of life itself and of those who inhabit it.<\/p>\n

The artist’s\u00a0experience as a paramedic affords him\u00a0a unique viewpoint \u2013 that liminal space that he witnesses between wellness and illness, between living and dying, where life is suspended and where outcome is often unknown.<\/p>\n

Following the exhibition, I had the opportunity to chat to Marron\u00a0about his work. Initially\u00a0trained in fine art, his working life brought him to the world of hospitals and the unwell. This witnessing, of the transformations and experiences of illness, changed the nature of Marron\u2019s art. Previously, he reflects, his work had been more\u00a0self-obsessed. Becoming part of the world of illness transported him away from a more personal interior world and towards a consideration of that of others.<\/p>\n

In his work\u00a0as a paramedic, Marron might only spend very short periods of time with patients on their journey to hospital. The encounters that moved him emotionally resulted in a transmutation\u00a0of the\u00a0feelings such interactions generated into the drawings on display. Yet each piece does not represent a single encounter or a specific individual, but is rather a conflation of a number of similar emotional experiences.<\/p>\n

The piece Run Away Robin, <\/em>for example, is not a direct portrait but was informed by a number of encounters with patients suffering from dementia. The piece represents a piecing together of the emotional fragments\u00a0that Marron took away from such interactions:\u00a0the nobility and stoicism that accompany the manner in which the elderly deal with memory loss; the masks they create, often using obstinacy and non compliance to hide their fears; and the fragmentation of self that accompanies the condition, here seen by the snippets\u00a0of repeated words that hold meaning to the utterer even if\u00a0uninterpretable by\u00a0us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Tooth for a Tooth<\/em> reminded me of Munch\u2019s The Scream<\/em> \u2013 that primordial sense of pain and anguish, seemingly uncommunicable in its silence. Any yet not, as we confront\u00a0the distress so vividly here on canvas. The violence of this\u00a0lived experience is hard to bear witness to, and yet there is so much tenderness in the lines that Marron draws to communicate\u00a0this emotion that we rest\u00a0our\u00a0gaze and stay\u00a0with the sufferer.<\/p>\n

\"GV<\/p>\n

Marron is unafraid to share the challenges and pathos of the lived experience, witnessing it acutely as a paramedic. Yet his work also celebrates life throughout, most notably\u00a0in\u00a0Fentanyl Dreams<\/em>, which vividly communicates\u00a0the force of the newly born.<\/p>\n

\"GV<\/p>\n

Marron is also a sculptor. However, for the works and themes presented in Encounters<\/em>, drawing for the artist facilitated a unique truth and directness. He\u00a0works quickly. Once inspired, the initial charcoal drawing is ready within 3-4 hours. Structures are built around this draft, followed by revisions. The sense of speed involved in their creation imbues the pieces with much energy and a less calculated finished product.<\/p>\n

The exhibition also includes a video, En Route<\/em>, which takes you on a journey through London, a horizontal view from within an ambulance. Buildings and sky whizz by, the world outside continuing and ignorant of what is happening inside\u00a0the vehicle and within the world of the ill. The poem Ambulances<\/em> by Philip Larkin came to mind:<\/p>\n

\u2018Closed like confessionals, they thread<\/p>\n

Loud noons of cities, giving back<\/p>\n

None of the glances they absorb.<\/p>\n

Light glossy grey, arms on a plaque,<\/p>\n

They come to rest at any kerb:<\/p>\n

All streets in time are visited.\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The poem\u00a0ends:<\/p>\n

\u2018Unreachable inside a room<\/p>\n

The traffic parts to let go by<\/p>\n

Brings closer what is left to come,<\/p>\n

And dulls to distance all we are.\u2019<\/p>\n

from Ambulances<\/em>, by Philip Larkin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our fragility, vulnerability, finiteness \u2013 further exemplified by the works being mounted on crutches \u2013 are\u00a0clearly evidenced in Marron\u2019s work, and are so beautifully\u00a0communicated with much tenderness\u00a0and compassion.<\/p>\n
