Biography
It has been ten years in the making. A philosophy that allows its creator, Robert Marshall to approach and understand and live within the complexities of our modern world. Ideas and understanding he has made visual, tactile and physical through the medium of sculpture and fine art. ‘Fluidism’ as the author have come to name his theories (and in accordance with his manifesto) is a non-binary approach to art and life. In ‘Fluidism’ the understanding is that everything is connected. Everything is fluid, everything flows. By accepting these simple facts, it must therefore mean that nothing can be isolated, solid nor stationary and therefore by definition it must also take on the acceptance that nothing can be complete nor polarised. Nothing is or can be binary. And if nothing is binary then everything exists within the spectrum of polar opposites. Everything is unique, everything is diverse.
It is hoped that this uniqueness and diversity and fluidity of thinking can be seen within the portfolio of the artists’ work, both in the subject, the chosen material and the technical skill, giving the work an overall individual stylistic variability with the aim of making lucid the opaque.
