Marius von Brasch is German-British painter who lives and works on the Isle of Wight. His work highlights the power of unconscious filters that shape perception. Imagination, affects and memories, which pervade social life, history and the life of the soul, play a significant role in the emergence of each painting and work on paper. Marius’s practice aims to translate these layers and their different relationships to time. The emotional dynamics of colour and how to contain and give form to what seems to evade representation are central to the work. Figures and fragmented narratives in the paintings constellate multiple polarities and also, often echoing mythologies, deal with ideological postures prevalent today. He finds parallels to his approach in Renaissance illuminations in alchemical manuscripts and quotes them indirectly in his work. This symbolic alchemical imagery addresses journeys of identities and evolution of consciousness while proposing transformative ways of working with conflict and diversity. Marius’s interest here is to find new painterly ways to speak about these subjects and a dialogue with classical and contemporary painting allows him to be part of an ongoing living tradition.
Marius received his MA with distinction from Winchester School of Art (Uni of Southampton) where he also completed his practice-based PhD in Fine Art Painting. He was awarded the Abbey Fellowship in Painting at The British School in Rome in 2013. With a background in psychotherapy and literature, Marius teaches experiential approaches to painting as well as courses on art and literature. His work is held in the Priseman Seabrook Collection, the University of Essex Modern and Contemporary British Art Collection, and in international private collections. He is represented by Jenn Singer Gallery, New York.
