With a classical training in painting, Marianne Thoermer is known for a practice that blends traditional techniques with an unconventional use of material. Since graduating from the Royal Academy Schools in 2018, her practice has involved a wide range of media, including painting, ceramics and large-scale textile installations. Having recently returned to painting as her primary medium, Thoermer constructs dreamlike compositions that invite us to reflect on how identity is shaped and experienced. 

Thoermer’s work is held in major international collections including Goetz Collection, Munich and Haus N Collection, Kiel and Athens, as well as private collections in the UK, the USA, Germany and Sweden. She has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London; Frestonian Gallery, London; Canopy Collections, London; TJ Boulting, London; Positions Berlin Art Fair; Galerie Sechzig, Austria; Museum Rijswijk, The Netherlands.
