Intro to the Artists: Sam Marsh

Sam first met Rob while working in Frome and quickly found they shared the passion and ambition to celebrate the arts. 

Sam Marsh is a contemporary artist working with a focus on painting, drawing and exploring how to paint rather than what to paint. Reacting to a starting point, such as placing two images together based on their aesthetic make-up or the relationship between two colours, the painting process then evolves instinctively with the construction of the protagonist or ‘Hero’ figure, in mind. Character and aesthetic displayed in film genres such as Horror and B-Movies as well as modern media from Vogue magazine to contemporary design blogs all play their part to inform this construction.

Marsh has won a series of prestigious Art Awards from Japan and the UK and graduated in 2008 with First Class Honours from Brighton University. Over the last few years Marsh’s work has appeared in a series of group shows across London and a large solo show in the Octagon in Bath.
