About The Artwork
Searching for the Light presents a personal reflection of London life. In this particular work, two figures can be observed sitting side by side on a tube subway car – close in proximity, arms touching - their eyes fixed towards the distant horizon. Looking towards the right, the third figure in the painting can be observed standing, pointing towards her chest in question, the basis for the painting’s title. In the surrounding background landscape, the rooftops of the buildings resemble warehouse-like structures. In the far distance, the viewer can observe a figure climbing a ladder to paint a blank sign, his body disappearing seamlessly into the intense, bright sky. At the forefront of the painting, pages of a book with a verse from T. S. Elliott’s Wasteland entreats the viewer to interact with the painting – placing the audience in the participatory position of one of the characters pictured in the tube scene described above. The assumed position of the audience as a subject in the painting references another art historical work entitled, Supper at Emmaus by Caravaggio – underlining the dramatic theatrical atmosphere that the artist strives to create through the varied series of works.

United Kingdom
Marina’s work begins with the human body. A breathing vessel that holds every experience. Having trained in contemporary and tap dance, and later gained experience with Butoh and physical theatre, the ability to think with and express through the body became a necessity, and touch, a vital tool for communication. Working to harness movement, she uses multiple disciplines including, painting and drawing to capture and directly translate motion onto a canvas. Her works combine classical figuration with abstracted or fragmented forms; layering multiple images to create a sense of time and motion. She often uses dance, theatre or her own movement as starting points for larger works. Most recently Marina has been creating a series of works from Flabbergast Theatre Company’s MACBETH in direct response to their rehearsals and live performances. This physical record of the transient performance acts not only as documentation of the process but creates a moving dialogue between action, physical embodiment and visual expression.
