A curation by Natalie Slater, Curator at Singulart - ‘Marilyn, Mother’ is a curation that brings together artists who return to Marilyn Monroe without the pop-culture volume turned up. These works step back from the remix and look instead at the source — the studio portrait, the contact sheet, the quiet moments that built the icon.
Across paint, pastel, and digital media, each artist picks apart a different version of her: the held pose, the soft stare, the controlled glamour. Some stay faithful to the photograph; others distort it just enough to show how easily the image shifts. Even when fractured, she’s still unmistakably Marilyn.
