(French, b. 1983)

Marguerite Wibaux has never set foot in therapy, but her art often finds its way to therapists’ offices. 

Growing up in Rome, where her father worked closely with the Vatican, Marguerite was steeped in the high drama and ornate beauty of the ecclesiastical world.  She spent her childhood sneaking into baroque churches and attempting to replicate Caravaggio’s masterpieces.

After a detour through HEC Paris Business School and a decade in advertising for fashion and luxury brands, Marguerite redirected her storytelling skills and mastery of imagery to follow her calling as an artist.  Her solo debut at the French Cultural Institute in Boston in 2019 marked the beginning of her artistic career. In 2021, she was an invited artist-in-residence at the French Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica. The same year, she garnered attention in New York with her solo booth at the Spring/Break Art Show.

Marguerite has since collaborated with The Locker Room in New York, a collective known for curating innovative art projects. This partnership offers a unique platform to express her vision, blending sculpture, painting, and performances, from transforming abandoned churches to inviting stand-up comedians to perform among her pieces. With the Locker Room, Marguerite has shown work at Spring/Break Art Show again, Scope art show, and Untitled Art Fair in Miami.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Her work has been reviewed in outlets such as Cultbytes, Artnet, Artnews, Create Magazine, and The Jamaica Gleaner.  Now based in Paris and the mother of three kids, Marguerite continues to blend classical elegance with a sharp, dark humor, embodying Louise Bourgeois’s mantra: “art is a guarantee of sanity”.
