Marcus Bolt



Artist Marcus BoltMarcus Bolt studied Art at the Universities of Herts and Kent and graduated with a BA 1st Class Hons. For many years he worked with 'rejectamenta' - junk found in skips, on building and demolition sites, railway lines, or just walking along the road – each find ‘resonating with recognition’. "These pieces were brought back to my studio and then turned into 'art' in a process that still seems magical to me today," Marcus writes, "A process of allowing the finds to dictate the direction or narrative of the piece. These creative acts of turning junk into art seemed to mirror the redemption I experienced through my involvement with spiritual groups." During this period, Marcus created both paintings and sculpture and had 4 successful shows in London and the Home Counties. He then returned to the medium of photography and was attracted to the same themes via urban decay, skips, building sites, shop windows, road signs, scratches and scuff marks, torn posters and so on, all becoming source material, yelling for his attention, demanding to be ‘captured’. "Again, that same sense of recognition and resonance manifested, dictating where I pointed my camera, but this time augmented by an inherent ‘knowingness’, or ‘rightness’, no doubt stemming from my having studied the history of contemporary art over many years. And this type of experiencing is there in my photographic work now as the pieces flick in and out of meaning and differing realities. One second I’m looking at a whirling mass of molecular energy, the next at scuff marks on the underside of a trolley; one moment I’m observing scrap paper at the bottom of a printer’s skip, the next a surreal burst of evolving ‘essence’ – and so on. "And of course, these phenomena are what artists from Seurat, through Van Gogh, to the abstract expressionists (many of whom were Zen Buddhists) have been exploring for over a century (take a look at Pollack and Rothko again – the lack of meaning is meant!)."
