Marion Wagschal : Private Views and paintings
Written by James D. Campbell
Published in C Magazine 107, October 1, 2010
''In Montreal, where she lives and works, Marion Wagschal is a phenomenon. She arrived on the scene with the exclamatory power of the Tunguska event and has left an equally unforgattable impression on the landscape of painting. Working feverishly, somewhere between the Biblical and the libidinal, she left her mark right from the start.'' Read the rest of the article on the digital version of C Magazine 107, p. 50.

Entre les chairs: Un bilan de la carrière de Marion Wagschal
Written by Marie-Ève Charron
Published in Le Devoir, May 8, 2010
Portraits et scènes d'intérieur constituent encore les fondements de la peinture de Marion Wagschal, à qui la galerie Battat Contemporary consacre une exposition. Ils sont des sujets de prédilection pour cette artiste, qui a commencé dans les années 1970 une carrière relativement discrète, mais ponctuée de succès, notamment par sa contribution à un art dit féministe. L'exposition actuelle aspire à dresser un bilan tout en faisant découvrir un corpus somme toute peu vu.

Marion Wagschal's paintings invite contemplation
Written by John Pohl
Published in The Gazette, April 24, 2010
A woman straddles a man in an easy chair. They are naked, in the throes of passion, the woman's face pressed into the man's chest, his clenched hands digging into her back. But his eyes are looking into the distance - is that detail significant? This is the scene in one of Marion Wagschal's paintings in her new show at Battat Contemporary, and it is typical of her work in that small details, like the man's wayward gaze, turn a seemingly straightforward depiction of lovers into a mystery in which no narrative is imposed.

Marion Wagschal: la beauté de l'ordinaire
Written by Éric Clément
Published in La Presse, April 24, 2010
Peintre figurative montréalaise, Marion Wagschal peint les corps humains dans leur plus grande banalité, dans leur réalité anodine avec une force évocatrice qui transforme ses personnages en héros et ses tableaux en pages d'histoire. On quitte réjoui et impressionné cette exposition où la beauté émerge totalement, complètement de l'ordinaire humain et du quotidien, des relations entre les êtres, de leurs souffrances, de leur sexualité, de leurs errements.
