Artist Database

Dillon Marsh is an artist from Cape Town, South Africa, using photography to explore the tenuous relationship between humans and the world around us. Marsh has held eight solo exhibitions and taken part in numerous group shows both locally and abroad.

Marsh’s early work consists of photographic series constructed as typologies. He uses this technique to isolate and emphasise specific features of particular landscapes, usually elements that show how we as a species engage both deliberately and unintentionally with our environment. Marsh has also introduced computer generated imagery into some of his more recent series to reveal underlying features or dynamics that can’t be illustrated with photography alone. In his current work Marsh continues his study of the interplay between people and places, but his scope is now broader and his approach more figurative.
