Welcome to Episode 7 of Ballsy with Marcus Aitken.  Marcus is a contemporary artist living and working in South London. Known for his gestural paintings, Marcus uses a combination of layering, distressing and blending to present a multifaceted surface to his work. His background in design has developed his artistic style creating cutting-edge abstract works. 

He has shown in exhibitions internationally and has collectors around the globe. His work has been featured by various publications including Schön! Magazine, Art Plugged, Saatchi Online, Soft Punk Magazine, High Snobiety, Trebuchet, Condé Nast, and Culture Trip. He was also named as one of Saatchi Art's top 20 emerging artists to watch in 2020.

He makes more than art, doing lots of interesting fashion Colabs, and we get deep into the way he approaches his business.  Really great interview.
