Marcus Nelson (b.1997) is a British artist based between Berlin and London. Taking inspiration from literature, sociological studies and theatre plays, he uses his own body to shape the final outcomes of the work, exploring how our sense of self becomes fragmented as we present different masks to the external world. Through painting, installation and film, Nelson’s work seeks to explore the isolation, paranoia and hidden trauma embedded in modern existence, questioning the authenticity of the self and how we perform within a confined urban environment.
