Seth Marshall

Seth Marshall's paintings remind us that seeing is a sensual experience. Seascapes immersed in light; a still life thrumming with colour; the swoop of an evening sky above a curving coastal road. In his Cornish scenes we encounter sheer impressions in the radiating lines of light on water and the dark outline of cliffs. Urban scenes use colour to track the gorgeousness of light contrasting the dark. In the tradition of trompe l'oeil experimentation, Marshall's spaces convey the truth of an image as a confluence of events: subject, object, and light wave.

I'm most affected by imagery – whether from direct observation or from the proliferation of technological reproductions. The subject is almost irrelevant to me. There is a freedom as detachment from subject can be superseded by subtle nuance in colour, tone, and brushstrokes. The shape of a sky against rooftops becomes a starting point for a composition; a recession of space inspires an area of rich colour.
