Försters Kryptoportraits sind ebenso vielschichtig wie ihre Werkgruppe visaturé. Den Ausgangspunkt des kreativen Prozesses bilden immer ganz bestimmte Menschen. Die feinnervigen Farbstiftzeichnungen verdichten sich schließlich zu subtil reduzierten Erkundungen einzelner Charaktere.
„Zwischen Offenlegen und Verbergen findet die Künstlerin zu Chiffren, die archetypisch anmuten und zugleich wesenhaft für das Individuum stehen“.

Marion Förster – Participation in „Contemporary Icons“
An exhibition at the Palazzo della Cancelleria Vaticana
The prestigious halls of the Palazzo della Cancelleria Vaticana will be the setting for the exhibition ‚Contemporary Icons‘, a significant title chosen for the exhibition project of different international artists, in which the work of art represents a map and every detail is a trace of the artist and his identity. There is a synergetic relationship between artist, work and viewer: the desire to express and the pleasure of discovery.
„Curiosity is one of the surest and surest characteristics of an active intellect,“ said critic Samuel Johnson, and in this concept the artist and the viewer of a work of art find themselves: the former in the originality of expression, the latter in the discovery of characteristics and the pleasure of knowledge.
