35 Artist Interview - Short term Sacrifice for long term Joy, Freedom & Time with the Family

Marine is an advocate for artists since a young age; Marine Tanguy managed her first gallery at age 21 under Steve Lazarides, who discovered Banksy and JR and opened her first art gallery in Los Angeles at age 23 where she was lucky to be mentored by Michael Ovitz himself. After seeing the restrictiveness of the traditional gallery model, Marine launched MTArt Agency in 2015 to build the reputations of the most incredible artists and to inspire everyone with their art.

She felt that the art world was too traditional in managing its talents and that the visual sector - that is, the urban realm, advertising sector and digital world - were poorly leveraged by visual arts professionals.

MTArt Agency was born. Fast forward to today – MTArt Agency is a certified B Corp® award-winning talent agency is worth £35 million and is the art sector's leading talent agency representing some of the most talented, forward-thinking artists in the world, working with global organisations and cities, and nurturing its international community of art-lovers and collectors.

Marine was awarded Forbes 2018 30 under 30 Europe: Art & Culture, UK entrepreneur of the year for the 2019 NatWest Awards and Woman of the Year 2021 by the magazine WOTC. She is a writer and keynote speaker on contemporary art and art investment. Her talks include two TEDx Talks on how to transform cities with art and how social media visuals affect our minds.

Marine believes that art should be accessible to everyone, everywhere “art is not a luxury but an essential, and that is why you are passionate about democratizing art. “
