Author Description

This catalog accompanies the third solo exhibition by Steven Marshall at Galleria D'Arte L'Occhio in Venice. The inclusion of sketches, notes, photographs, source material and images of earlier work takes this publication beyond the documenting of a single exhibition. The supplementary material provides a broader and more detailed overview of the artist's oeuvre, contextualizing the pieces, which comprise the central core of this current practice, a suite of paintings collectively titled "The Chegford Variations." These texts and images allow the viewer to look at the whole scenario of Marshall's work, to examine what prompted these paintings and the ideas inform them.
