Enzo Marra

Having studied at the University of Reading(for his BA degree) and at Brighton University(for his MA), Enzo Marra is still based in Brighton concentrating on producing evocative expressions of the human condition. Ranging from the sweet and wholesome all the way to the troublesome and vitriolic, they all share an elation in what it means to be alive. Even when the subject seems almost too brutal to view, the human drive to act as voyeur ensures that they become etched within the viewers consciousness.Executed on canvas with largely undiluted oils, they follow the traditions of german expressionism and the London school, whilst also being very much of today. Within a world where violence and conflict sit neatly next to the most user-friendly pleasures of the pre-watershed, Enzo Marra is actively attempting to record what it means to be on this earth in a time of hidden realities and prescribed ignorance.
