The panoramic views in Brad Marshall’s paintings are more than just records of his travels. Similar to nineteenth century Hudson River School painters, Marshall is attracted to dramatic locations. Marshall’s art work is a translation of the emotional response triggered when in the presence of sprawling nature and grandiose man-made structures. Marshall has made extensive use of his camera while traveling, but relies on memory to serve as the scaffolding for his composite images. In this sense Marshall’s experiential knowledge plays as important a role as representational exactitude.
In Arc, specifically Marshall presents a series of arch-themed paintings. Marshall’s intention in these works was not to do an academic survey of arches but rather to create a series of landscape paintings that pay homage to these amazing structures. “Whether natural or man-made, arches are both strong and elegant. They are universal, yet remain among the most visually captivating objects we see.” Marshall 2007
Born in 1955, Marshall trained in painting and illustration at the San Francisco Academy of Art.
He currently resides in Queens, New York.
