These are a few of my images that contain a bit of social comment; they reflect my take on life I guess.....

Sucked In, acrylic painting by Chris Marshall
Spin – we see and hear it everywhere. In fact there is a whole industry out there whose job it is to influence the way we think, what we “need" etc. I set out to create a high energy painting (acrylic on gallery linen) which conveyed my frustration and resistance to continually being “sucked in” using as my metaphor, the amazing seed pods of the Acacia Cyclops that I saw while camping on the South Coast of Western Australia.

Sweet Dreams
To those that died in the Asian Tsunamis on Boxing Day, 2004. I see a child curled up in the middle of the painting, possibly floating in a sea of debris - there are many other transient faces of different colours in the painting, representing the universality of the disaster and how it touched everyone. The green represents the lush, idyllic, tropical paradise, the yellow represents the sun which goes on shining and the red represents the floating flowers of memorial. Sweet Dreams to the over 225,000 that died....
