//INTERVIEW
Marleigh Culver
Marleigh Culver is a Los Angeles painter, originally from Virginia. She works in abstraction, paints plants, mixes all her colors by hand. She also works in design and art direction, and has been on Tappan Collective’s roster since 2016.
We talked about the Ellsworth Kelly painting that got her into abstraction as a kid, the difference between her graphic and her intuitive work, how she picks colors, and what she wants to make next.
Q: How did you first become interested in abstract painting?
A: I first became interested in abstract painting when I was very young. My parents used to take us to museums, and I absolutely fell in love with Ellsworth Kelly’s work at a museum in Washington, D.C. I found the vibrating colors of the large pieces very alluring. It felt like I was seeing for the first time. I was also very interested in Matisse’s interiors because they felt so fun and messy. I think I was in elementary or middle school when I was drawn to that era of his work.
Q: When you start a new work, how do you build it between geometry and more fluid elements?
A: This is interesting because I usually make work that is either/or and haven’t combined them very often. For any of my pieces that feel flow or blurriness, that is all intuitive and of the moment, with no planning. The only thing instructing me is the colors of paint I mixed, and that sort of speaks to me in what colors to lay down in succession. For my graphic pieces, those are planned out on the computer via sketching. I like doing it that way because it’s very flexible and quick, and I can explore a lot of color options.

Last January I was asked to work on a logo with the team at Watson DG for Julia Garner’s production company, Alma Margo, and although they didn’t go with this direction in the end it was still such a treat to work on! All hand drawn and painted logos 🖤 Looking for more work like this because being off screens brings me my most creative outcomes. Also I have no idea where my drive is that has these files so I pulled all of this from my deck pdf oops. The photograph is Sylvia Ballhause, Atrium Film Palast, Nuremberg, 2013!

Working intuitively, Culver allows paint to move and settle with minimal intervention, creating forms that feel both deliberate and organic—visual echoes of landscapes, feelings, and fleeting images stored in the subconscious.

“Nature is always my main inspiration.” says LA-based artist Marleigh Culver.
As the visionary behind this year's California-inspired holiday packaging, she started by researching native flora + fauna from fuchsia-flowered gooseberry to whiteleaf manzanita, picking out defining characteristics like petals and serrated leaf edges. As for color? That was more intuitive for Marleigh. “I loved being able to reference ILIA’s shade palette... I’ll mix colors and follow my gut on whether a color feels balanced and right and emotive.”

Marleigh Culver is a painter originally from Virginia, now based in Los Angeles, CA. Her work encompasses both paint and new media and is characterized by an abstract and romantic aesthetic, often focused on plants as subject matter. The use of color throughout her work is both considered and playful, reflecting the artist’s own effervescent personality.
