About

Alexi Marshall (b. 1995, London, UK) is a Hastings-based artist and graduate of the Slade School of Art (2018). Working across print, fabric, drawing, and embroidery, her practice explores themes of womanhood, folklore, and liminal spaces where the veil between worlds grows thin. Her work is rooted in the tactile and handmade, with traces of her process—scuff marks, slippages, and fingerprints—embraced.

Marshall’s linocut prints and drawings create theatrical tableaux where lines, bodies, and worlds fold into each other, driven by storytelling and otherworldly narratives. Her deeply personal experiences are woven into her work, crafting new mythologies that subvert traditional ones and blend autobiography with archetype.

Without access to a printing press, Marshall uses her body—her weight, hands, and feet—to create her large-scale linocut prints. This physical approach allows for balancing control with an embrace of the unexpected.

Marshall has exhibited in five solo shows, including Nostalgia for the Mud at Brooke Benington Gallery (2024), Under The Pomegranate Moon at Flatland Projects (2023), Taming The Unruly Gods at Sara Zanin (2023), Cursebreakers at the De La Warr Pavilion (2021), and The Redemption of Delilah at Public Gallery (2019). She was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2018), served as the inaugural artist-in-residence for the Demoni Danzanti Residency in Italy (2022), and completed the Early Careers Artist Programme at Flatland Projects.

Marshall was shortlisted for the Arts Foundation Futures Awards 2024 and will serve as a Guest RE at the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers for 2024–2025. Alongside her studio practice, she founded Peculiar Arcana, a community-focused printmaking project, and collaborates with Wysing Arts Centre, delivering workshops for their Creative Youth Council.
