Brooklyn based artist, Marilyn Gold, is an abstract painter whose, both intimately petite, and human-scale oil paintings, evoke the visual and sensorial experience of nature in relation to the body.

She studied at Bennington College in the 1980's amid a faculty with deep roots in abstract expressionism and its subsequent effects. After graduating, she was selected to attend Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture where she met Agnes Martin, cementing what would become her decades-long commitment to abstract painting.

Her consideration of color and atmosphere take inspiration from Mark Rothko and Pierre Bonnard. In her own words, "When painting, I seek to convey with color and texture, a human expression of both physical and visual experiences of life, a reaction to nature not necessarily by looking out, but within my mind and on the canvas. And, the ever present "DNA", of dialogue with painters throughout time."

She was one of four female painters ( Four Painters at Lindsey Brown Gallery, NYC 2001) representing recent decades of abstract painting with Louise Fishman, Mary Jones and Rosanna Bruno. Her two person show with Robert Guillot in 2017, at Williamsburg's Sideshow Gallery, was reviewed by Stephen Maine for Hyperallergic: https://hyperallergic.com/340513/of-lava-and-lava-lamps-marilyn-gold-and-robert-guillot/
