webLongDescription

American artist Brice Marden (b. 1938) has had a profound impact on painting today. During his career there has been a sea change in art movements, yet Marden has unwaveringly adhered to modernist principles of abstraction.

From his early monochromatic paintings of the 1960s and 1970s – sculpturally layered using oil paint and light-absorbing beeswax to explore subjectively the connections of colour to person, mood or idea – to themes inspired by Asian art and culture, composed of vivid and calligraphic loops and webs, Marden's deeply personal work incorporates multiple art historical and cultural inspirations.
