Marc Fine Art Motto:
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.
- Proverb from Tokushima This thread remains consistent irrespective of emotive outlet.

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.

As a painter and freestyle dancer, my work is driven by a deep appreciation for corporeal experience and its possibilities for expression. Heavily inspired by embodied cognition and the research of pioneers such as George Lakoff, I believe that bodily narrative and sensorial perceptions are responsible for ho

w we conceive of and engage with every aspect of our lives. Cognition, emotionality, and the metaphors we live by are all married to our bodies. When creating visual narratives, be it with brush or on the dancefloor, I strive to bridge the universal with my own intimate psychosocial experiences. A strong directive of my visual work is to challenge viewers to reassess the integration between mind and body. I aim to inspire them to consider how they ~wiggle~ through this life.

Marc Chicoine is a visual artist and dancer based in Brooklyn, NY. Marc was born in the Bay Area of California and received his BA from Chicago based Northwestern University in Cognitive Science and Communication. He moved to NYC in order to further develop his creative ambitions, eventually returning to school to receive an MFA from the Pratt Institute. Marc's paintings focus on corporeal experience. Both technically informed and raw, his encaustic, dry media, and gouache/oil pieces bridge the universal with the intimately psychological. Marc has exhibited across the United States. Showings include the Pratt Institute, Rhode Island Watercolor Society, Viridian Artists, and Attleboro Arts Museum, amongst others. In free time, Marc enjoys sharing the dance floor. Marc believes that movement practice is integral to his visual work. Both systems of expression bridge technical prowess with improvisation.

Die Weiße Rose will be published in the 2025 Rapid Response Anthology of on "America's Slide Towards Authoritarianism" .

The piece remembers antifascist student movements in N**i Germany and bridges current iterations: resistance to the supremacist and genocidal policies of murder, scholasticide, and engineered starvation, caused by Zionist ideology and Western Imperialism. Whether it be the White Rose Society at University of Munich, the working class Edelweißpiraten in N**i Germany, or the Palestinian solidarity movements of the present day; the messages of these forces are one and the same.

They advocate for humanity, not selective humanity...

Paradise Lost and Found heads to 'Freedom Isn't Free' at Memento Mori Gallery. This piece highlights the bridge between US imperial conquests: Zionism abroad and ICE/militarized policing inside the US. Both use violent force on indigenous and/or oppressed populations under the guise of established law and cultural norms to facilitate erasure. They also heavily censor voices of dissent in order to do so. Both use the same type of physical violence and war mongering, as well as soft levers like economic/resource disparity and the selective focus of media. They humanize certain narratives while alienating others as a means of strategy. By and large, different feathers, same bird. The end result is the acquisition of land and resources at the expense and blood of others.

Powerful photo of Ivanna and her family. These kids have names. Gaza chooses life. During this strategic media blackout more children like her are murdered without any coverage.

This is willful, purposeful... To fight against it, you can purchase an e-Sim card for Palestinian residents since communication infrastructure has been targeted and axed. The following pictures show how, courtesy of International Jewish Antizionist Network.
