MARCUS AITKEN
Recently named as one of Saatchi Arts top 20 emerging artists to watch in 2020, Marcus is a contemporary artist and painter from South London who uses a combination of layering, distressing and blending to present a multifaceted surface to his work. Having shown in both solo and group exhibitions internationally, he has a background in design and developed his artistic style in creating cutting edge abstract works with vibrant and exciting sculptural elements.
“Marcus’ rigorous design background shines through in his creative process—building up and distressing multiple layers of pigment on wood panels and canvas, and then applying expressive brushstrokes — ultimately yielding expertly balanced and dramatic compositions.”– Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator & VP Saatchi Art.
