About this artwork
Like much of my work this painting was inspired by numerous trips to India. In particular the colour and form by a visit to a temple in Rishikesh in Northern India. The entire temple was painted in various shades of orange, including the steps which had been worn to an irregular pattern by generations of pilgrims.
The concept of the beauty of imperfection in work is an aesthetic idea both in India and Japan which I very much enjoy.
Infinite variety… of outcomes through repetition, in both painting and sculpture.
The colour orange represents spirituality, purity and renunciation in India. But it is also a very open, generous and joyful colour. Like much of the abstract work there is an initial inspiration but hopefully the work can take you somewhere else not led by a representative image

Marcus Hodge works primarily in oil, drawing from classical training in Spain and deep inspiration from India. His technique is vibrant and sculptural, with bold textures, abstract forms, and direct, minimal language, using unconventional tools to introduce risk and vitality. He seeks to balance energy and stillness, inviting instinctive responses while exploring the universal threads connecting humanity. Each piece radiates hope, faith and a profound sense of shared experience, urging viewers to embrace the unexpected and fostering unity in an increasingly divided world.
