Biography
Robert Marsden (b. Birkenhead, UK 1947) studied at High Wycombe College of Technology and the Royal College of Art. London. He has exhibited internationally and his work can be found in the Crafts Council Collection, London; Birmingham Museum & City Art Gallery; Shipley Art Gallery; Sheffield Assay Office; and the National Gallery of Australia. He is best known for his minimalist metal sculpture. The art critic Mel Gooding has descibed his works as ‘belonging to that specifically modernist type of the sculptural architectonic’. He works on a variety of scales from tabletop sculptures to monumental outdoor pieces. His most recent series of pared down forms draw attention to the subtle permutations of their patinated brass components and the particular spatial relationships that come into play at the juxtaposition of one shape with another.
