“Catharsis, the blues,” a new solo exhibition by Pauline Marcelle, will open on February 5, 2026, at the Old Oven Art Gallery at the Fort Young Hotel & Dive Resort in Roseau, Dominica. The exhibition will be on view through April 30, 2026.
In “On view in Dominica / Art buzz,” Caribbean Beat (issue 192; January/February 2026) featured three ongoing exhibitions by Dominica-born artists: Heston Francis, Marica Honychurch, and Pauline Marcelle. About the latter, Caribbean Beat says, “Here, blue becomes an act of mourning and renewal — a visual and emotional field through which she reimagines the relationship between humanity, memory, and the wounded planet.”
Pauline Marcelle was born in Dominica, West Indies and currently resides and works in both Dominica and Vienna, Austria. She was educated at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna Austria and holds an MFA in Visual and Fine Arts. Her artistic practice encompasses various mediums such as painting, sculpture and video.
Marcelle’s artworks delve into the complexities of human behaviour, examining the interplay of human interactions and the profound influence of their social and mental environments. Her works revolve around themes of consumption, sustainability, and resilience, exploring the visual and psychological aspects of human needs and desires. Marcelle adapts digital collages to painterly expressions, transforming them into pictorial forms. She continuously establishes and redefines relationships within her compositions, capturing the essence of the painterly and the photographic. These elements serve as vehicles for exploring pertinent themes within the realm of human experience. [Bio from the artist’s page.]
