The Couple Therapist is an original artwork by Margaux, painted at Print Club during the hot spring-summer of 2025. This piece marks a shift in her creative direction and belongs to a series exclusive to Print Club London. It delves into the ways we can be metaphorically "gobbled up" by our romantic ideals and society's expectations of love. Printed on 300gsm Fabriano paper, this is a 1/1 original.
The couple therapist as figure — the professional third party who navigates between two people's competing versions of the same relationship — gives the title its wit. Margaux Carpentier makes work about desire, connection and the vibrant oddity of existence, and the couple therapist belongs squarely in that territory. French-born, London-based, studied Paris and Surrey. Our guide to investing in original artwork is worth reading. Signed. £625.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Margaux Carpentier
Margaux Carpentier is a French-born artist based in Stoke Newington, London who studied in Paris and Surrey. She works across screen printing, painting, drawing, spray paint, ceramics and large-scale murals — her practice built around storytelling through symbolic imagery, created entirely by hand using analogue methods. Her work addresses the head, heart, gut and flesh: desire, connection and the vibrant oddity of existence rendered in bold, unapologetic figures and folk-inflected symbols. She is part of Animaux Circus studio and the Puck collective, and is represented by Art Friend. She was campaign artist for Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring 2025 and has painted murals at London Zoo and Homerton Hospital. In her own words: ‘Creation acts as a window, an unlimited access to colour and pleasure.’
