Mariele Neudecker (born 1965) is a German artist who lives and works in Bristol, England. Neudecker uses a broad range of media including sculpture, installation, film and photography. Her practice investigates the formation and historical dissemination of cultural constructs around the natural world, focusing particularly on landscape representations within the Northern European Romantic tradition and today's notions of the Sublime. Central to the work is the human interest and relationship to landscape and its images used metaphorically for human psychology.

Neudecker has shown widely internationally, notably in Biennales in Japan, Australia and Singapore, also solo shows in Ikon Gallery, Tate St Ives[1] and Tate Britain. In 2010 she presented a solo exhibition at Galerie Barbara Thumm, Berlin, won the Ludwig Gies Preis for her participation at Triennale Fellbach 2010 (Germany), made a new commission for Extraordinary Measures, Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens, Newcastle upon Tyne (UK)[2] and was invited to spend three month at the Headlands Centre for the Arts, San Francisco (USA). She was a guest artist at the physics laboratory CERN in 2017 and 2019.[3]

She was born in Düsseldorf, Germany.
