Oliver Marsden's artistic practice revolves around perception, the possibilities of movement and the fluidity of colour, sound and order. Marsden explores the behavior and properties of paint, creating pulsations and echoes of colour, with a formal basis in geometry that often corresponds to the shapes of periodic oscillations, such as the vibrations of simple sounds, like that which a tuning fork can produce. These wave patterns are often produced in nature by wind, light or sound, and their shape has a direct correspondence to rhythm and time. Marsden's work represents possible cosmic models, or fragments of them, from the balance between scientific precision and perceptual subjectivity. The evolution of his practice has led him to experiment with materials such as fiberglass and aluminium, as well as paint.
