CHRISTOPHER MARSH (M.A) IS A MULTI-AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER, VIDEO ARTIST AND PAINTER LIVING IN LANCASHIRE U.K.

FOCUSING LARGELY ON ISOLATION, NIHILISM, SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN A NON-LINEAR CONTEXT AND USING VARIOUS ART FORMATS WITHIN HIS WORK, FROM 35MM FILM TO OILS AND CHARCOAL. THE WORK IS AN ODE TO THE IDEAL OF SIMPLICITY.

STATEMENT

“CREATING ART AND FILM IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE NIHILISTIC STATE OF THE INNER HUMAN MIND WHILST TRYING TO REACH TOWARDS A UTOPIAN VISION. CONSISTENTLY HELD BACK BY THE RESTRAINTS OF THE INSTITUTIONS, ORGANISATIONS, SOCIAL BONDS AND REALITY.”

IN MY WORK I ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE DYSTOPIAN IDEALISM AND SOLITUDE THROUGH ACTIONS IN A POETIC STYLE, RESTRAINING FROM HIGHLY PROCESSED IMAGERY AND CENTERING MORE ON THE USAGE OF SOUND AND/OR TEXTURE TO FORWARD MY CONCEPTS TO THOSE WHO VIEW.”
