About

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, mosaic and embroidery, investigating themes of womanhood, folklore and rebirth. The hand is always present; handmade, hand sewn, hand carved, hand printed, hand bound. The traces it leaves are often visible and embraced. Lines, bodies and worlds fold into each other to create theatrical tableaux, driven by storytelling and otherworldly narrative. Marshall has exhibited her work in five solo exhibitions in the UK and Italy: most recently; ‘Nostalgia for the Mud’ at Brooke Benington Gallery (2024), ‘Under The Pomegranate Moon’, Flatland Projects (2023), ‘Taming The Unruly Gods’, Sara Zanin (2023), 'Cursebreakers' at the De La Warr Pavilion, (2021), and ' The Redemption of Delilah' at Public Gallery (2019). She has shown internationally in selected group shows including Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2018. Marshall was the inaugural artist in residence at the Demoni Danzanti residency in Italy (selected by Marcelle Joseph) in 2022 and completed the Early Careers Artist Programme at Flatland Projects in Bexhill-on-Sea, UK. She founded and facilitates a community based project, ‘Peculiar Arcana’, centering on fostering connection within groups through tarot and printmaking and works with Wysing Art Centre delivering workshops with the Creative Youth Council.
