The work 'Valdo' discussed in this episode of Salon Exit is a transitional masterpiece signifying one of Marcus's stylistic shifts. It carries the astonishingly refreshing colour palette and symbolic qualities into a new base medium of raw canvas. The canvas itself plays an important role in the entirety of not only the composition of the artwork but also Marcus's entire practice. Furthermore, the premise of this piece can be traced to Marcus's most pronounced inspirational well, being the music.
