Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time is Marisa's solo show on at the Ripley Arts Centre in Bromley.

3rd March – 26th March 2015

"Marisa Cherry Saunders creates fairy tale images that evoke a sense of nostalgia with a folk art style and the use of traditional relief printmaking.

Varying from the provocative to the innocent, these images playfully entice the viewer to remember the tales that they grew up with and appreciate them once again.

Fairy tales have entertained us, they have delighted us and yet have also terrified us. They have taught us lessons; how to be brave, how to outwit our foes and how to fall in love. The basic concepts and formula of the classic fairy tales are still utilised in contemporary media, and their importance should never be forgotten."
