Alexi Marshall (b. 1995, London, UK) is a Hastings-based artist who graduated from the Slade School of Art in 2018. She works in print, fabric, drawing and embroidery, investigating themes of womanhood, folklore and regeneration. Linocut printing is a recurring medium in Marshall’s practice. The hand is always present; handmade, hand sewn, hand carved, hand printed, hand bound. The traces it leaves - slippages, scuff marks and fingerprints are often visible and embraced. Her prints and drawings convey a temporality, as lines, bodies and worlds fold into each other to create theatrical tableaux and morality plays driven by storytelling and otherworldy narrative. Marshall has exhibited her work in two solo exhibitions; 'Cursebreakers' at the De La Warr Pavilion in 2021, and ' The Redemption of Delilah' at Public Gallery, 2019. She has also shown in selected group shows including Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2018. More recently, they include : 'Synthesis' Delphian Gallery at the Saatchi Gallery (2022), ‘Outside The Line’, Sara Zanin Gallery, Rome (2022)’, ‘A Star Is Just A Memory Of A Star', Brooke Bennington, Hastings, UK (2022); ‘Body En Thrall’, Rugby Museum and Art Gallery, Rugby (2022); Ode To Orlando, Pi Artworks, (2022).
