Alexi Marshall: A Return to Innocence

27 Sep-17 Nov 2024

PV 26 Sep 2024, 6-8pm

Overview

San Mei Gallery is pleased to present A Return To Innocence by Hastings-based artist Alexi Marshall. This will be the seventh exhibition in San Mei Gallery’s public-facing window space, home to a new commercial programming strand presenting micro-exhibitions with works available for sale by emerging contemporary artists. 

Alexi Marshall creates mosaics made with glass tiles and excess wooden substrate sourced from local carpenters. Taking an intuitive approach which leans into the subconscious to explore what may arise, Marshall’s mosaics are bold images acting like snapshots or motifs, with words and symbols that come to the surface. 

A Return To Innocence offers a return to the playfulness of art-making; to the images and symbols that always remain in the psyche, and to unquestioned intuition as a source of creativity, allowing the images to weave a story themselves.
