Marie Lannoo est une artiste canadienne née en 1954 à Simcoe en Ontario puis élevée à Dehli, Ontario. Elle a déménagé en 1975 en Saskatchewan où elle poursuit sa carrière artistique.

Formation
En 1978 Marie Lannoo a obtenu un baccalauréat en arts puis un an plus tard un diplôme des Beaux-Arts de l'Université de la Saskatchewan. En 1980 Lannoo suivit une formation de peinture à Virton en Belgique puis à l’École des Beaux-Arts de Banff.

Marie Lannoo reçut la bourse multiculturelle du Département de la Culture et de la Jeunesse en 1979, la bourse G.B. Poole en 1980 et plusieurs bourses de Saskatchewan Arts Board entre 1980 et 1984.

Carrière
Marie Lannoo est connue pour ses œuvres abstraites. De nombreuses expositions lui ont été consacrées, parmi lesquelles "Immersed" en 2002, Talking in Circles en 2001, Recent Work en 2001, Ricochet en 1999, Merger en 1997, Seeking Identity en 1997, Imprints en 1997 et The Academy en 1990. Son travail actuel abstrait uses layered colours and plays with the illusion of depth.

In her exhibition The Academy from the fall of 1990 she delved into her personal recollections. The Academy contained figurative paintings which were tied together by narrative. These pieces deal with Marie Lannoo's stay at a convent school. They do not focus on the story of a girl going to convent school but rather are Lannoo's recollections of her time at the school. Her recollections are tied to each other, as Cindy Richmond wrote, "in a narrative form by the painter's specific reactions to those recollections." The Academy was the first time she used herself as her subject. "Her close attention to the evocative power of colour and texture, allow the viewer more than one perspective from which to approach the work," Cindy Richmond, the curator for The Academy, acknowledged.

In Imprints Lannoo dealt with imprinting in its' metaphorical implications and also, as Tim Nowlin wrote, "within the material realization of her paintings." These works deal with layering information on the canvas. The paintings are dense and complex; using stenciling, pouring, scraping and brushing paint. They are, as Tim Nowlin has put it, "like palimpsests, surfaces where information is layered upon prior information, both rubbing out and exposing traces of meaning."

Her main subject matter is reflected colour which shows in her Mendel Art Gallery exhibition, Through and Through and Through. In this exhibition she used Transparent and luminescent material. Roald Nasgaard has written that, "Increasingly her work has disembodied colour, casting it out into space as pure spectral display." This show was an experience and not simply something to be viewed. As Vincent Varga wrote, "It allows the viewer to get inside the dynamic colours."

Son intérêt pour la forme et les effets d'optique est particulièrement évident dans les oeuvres qu'elle exposa avec Margaret Elizabeth Vanderhaeghe, "La Source des Choses" (The Source of Things). Dan Ring, the curator, for The Source of Things, explains Lannoos recent work uses abstract language to show both, "the embodied and the disembodied, forming meaning out of pattern and repetition, alluding to both the world we live in and to a history of abstraction." In the early 2000s Marie Lannoo was an artist mentor at the Saskatoon Mendel Art Gallery.

Her work is currently in many public collections including Canada Council Art Bank, Government of Alberta, Saskatchewan Arts Board, SaskTel and the University of Saskatchewan. She exhibits locally, nationally and internationally and is represented by Galerie de Bellefeuille in Montreal, Newzones Gallery of Contemporary Art in Calgary, Alberta and Galerie Lausberg in Toronto, Ontario.
