Dale Marshall (painter)


Dale Marshall is a contemporary fine art painter currently residing in the Welsh countryside at the foothills of Snowdonia National Park.

Biography

Marshall began over 25 years ago as a graffiti artist on the streets of Bath and Bristol in the South West of England. With the freedoms of expression found through rebellion comes also the gritty consequences of street culture, which, for Marshall, ultimately led to drug use and psychotic episodes. In 1999, he was sectioned in St Lawrence's Hospital in Bodmin. He suffered clinical depression for another 7 years until he self-discharged from anti-psychotic prescription medication.
He completed a year studying abstract art at California State University, Long Beach, California in 2012.
In February 2014, a three-month exhibition of Marshall's work opened at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry. Marshall claimed this would make him the only other graffiti artist apart from Banksy to have a 3-month independent solo exhibition in a city museum.
