Become a bird watcher in the latest Hallway Gallery exhibition, Birds of Paradox by Melbourne artist Sam Marshall.
Inspired by the feathered residents that live in the back lanes, green spaces and architecture of his inner-city neighbourhood, Sam’s artworks explore the identities of native birds and their ability to adapt to urban environments.
This series of strikingly unique compositions were created using the "one of a kind" monotype printmaking technique.
Experience this expression of urban ornithology in the Hallway space open until January 21, 2025.
About the artist
Sam Marshall has considered himself an artist since the age of 4. A graffiti artist through his early teens and a qualified signwriter after high school, Sam always knew that he wanted to work in the arts. He started tattooing in his early 20’s and now, nearly 20 years later, is a tatooist and visual artist practicing in a wide variety of media including murals, sculptures and installation art.
Sam has a particular fascination with abstract shape and colour that resonates throughout his work. He has strong connections with nature as well as his urban environment and loves the grittiness of urban streetscapes and laneways. His favoured subject matter are birds, which feature in the majority of his recent works.
