Marlene & Glaciers
Long before the term “climate change” became mainstream, and decades before global warming became a trending topic, Marlene Yu was painting the melting glaciers.
She began this series in the mid-1960s, compelled by the devastation she sensed in nature. What started as visual exploration became a kind of warning—one that the world is only now beginning to fully understand.
Today, the Melting Glacier Series stands as a profound testament:
Art can see the future. Art can speak when science hasn’t yet caught up.
Marlene didn’t just paint beauty.
She painted urgency—wrapped in color, movement, and emotion.
This series is more than relevant.
It’s a legacy of environmental foresight. A call to action painted in ice.
