Gloucestershire - Reino Unido - 1973
La práctica artística de Oliver Marsden gira en torno a la percepción y las posibilidades del movimiento y la fluidez del color, el sonido y el orden. Marsden explora el comportamiento y las propiedades de la pintura, creando pulsaciones y ecos de color, utilizando figuras geométricas - especialmente el círculo - como sujeto. La evolución de su práctica lo ha llevado a la experimentación con otros materiales como la fibra de vidrio y el aluminio. Evocando la radiación de la luz y de las ondas concéntricas así como su profundo conocimiento sobre las propiedades del sonido, la proporción áurea, la espiral logarítmica y la consonancia del cosmos, el trabajo de Marsden pretende reconciliar los mundos de la alta tecnología y de la pintura tradi- cional; el mundo de lo orgánico y lo digital.

Oliver Marsden’s artistic practice revolves around the perception and possibilities of movement and fluidity in color, sound and order. Marsden explores the behaviour and properties of painting creating pulsations and echoes of color, using geometric figures - especially the circle - as subject. The evolution of his practice has led to the experimentation with other materials such as fiberglass and aluminium. Evoking the radiation of light and concentric waves as well as his profound knowledge on the properties of sound, the concept of the centre as origin, the Golden Section, the logarithmic spiral and the music of the spheres, Marsden’s work attempts to reconcile the worlds of high-technology and of traditional painting; the organic and the digital realms.
