Mike Marshall (born in London, 1967) makes work that explores the potential of video, photography and sound to drive sustained, intense and vital levels of engagement with the immediate world around us. Often taking nature as its subject, his work is deceptively simple in appearance, using various modes of representation to disrupt the priority given to the Sublime in artistic depictions of the natural environment.

Mike Marshall’s film ‘Birdcatcher’ was part of Film and Video Umbrella’s 2006 project ‘Single Shot’. This was a touring programme of specially commissioned film and video pieces by well-known artists as well as new talent, and encompassed a wide range of approaches to making moving-image works.

Marshall’s work has been exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; Tate St Ives; Image Furini Arte Contemporanea, Arezzo; and Piannisimo Gallery, Milan. He has contributed to group exhibitions at FACT, Liverpool; The British School at Rome; Temporary Contemporary, London; and Leeds City Art Gallery. He lives and works in London.
