Installation

Born in San Francisco, Calvin Marcus is a Los Angeles-based painter who creates stylistically distinct bodies of work that probe unsettling subjects, both psychic and social, across a variety of media. Each series Marcus undertakes reveals his innovative approach to materials, from thick pigment sticks resembling Crayolas to intricate watercolor and oil compositions. His exhibitions are meticulously curated experiences, confronting viewers with tightly-constructed panoramas and maze-like displays that heighten the uncanny effect of his works.
