About this artwork
This sculpture is part of the Gateway series. The gateways exhibition in 2017 represented a pivotal moment in my career as it fused my love of India with abstraction.
The themes of gateways and windows were clear metaphors for the transformation my work was undergoing.
The gateway of India left an indelible mark and became the starting point for the series. This monument has been a silent witness to many important moments in history. It is the backdrop… to the unfolding events of the many gathered there.
As evening approaches and the red sun dips into the Indian ocean, the surrounding area takes on an almost carnival atmosphere. Musicians and hawkers vie for the attention of the throng of tourists, as young couples wander under the watchful eye of elderly chaperones.
The whole of life plays out in this arena each and every day adding its small mark to the layers of history and time.

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.
