Christopher Marrows

I studied at Lincoln University of Art and Design College of Art specialising in ceramics, which I practised for several years, exhibiting and selling work in galleries and shops across the country. In recent years I have returned to painting as a means of expression; using acrylic paint on recycled panels of wood or canvas
I regularly exhibit paintings and small pieces of sculpture with the Sneinton Artists’ Group at Greens Windmill in Sneinton and participate in the annual ‘Open Studios’ event every July, where I am available to discuss my working methods inspirations and influences (which are many and various including the Ordnance Survey and Bob Dylan). I have also exhibited paintings at the Art Organisation and participated in the ‘Way out Fest’ at Rufford Country Park.The inspiration for this piece of work was not only the cover but also the vinyl disc itself drawing the pick up arm ever closer to the hole in the centre of the record; so the eponymous parade is drawn into the interior of the cover.
