ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Eska Marsh

We’re thrilled to welcome back Eska Marsh, whose drypoint and carborundum prints earned her a spot in this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. A really well deserved accolade for Eska and her practise.

A Falmouth University graduate, Eska has become celebrated for her technical mastery and refined presentation. Her monochrome prints produced on sumptuous Somerset paper and are housed in handcrafted frames with museum-grade glass, elevating her work to an impeccable standard, we expect nothing less from Eska and her impeccable eye for detail.

Eska Marsh (b. 1994, South-Coast, England) is a British contemporary artist based in Bristol, England. Distinguished by a unique primitive style, Eska draws inspiration from American folk art, still lifes and her own ideas which often mirror the stark realities of our modern world.

Eska has garnered significant acclaim over the past decade, with her prints and paintings displayed in selected galleries across England with recent shows at Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, and Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.

In the last six months Eska has been preparing for shows in both London and St Ives and endeavours to continue to deepen her practice since her time in Ireland in 2025 from an artist residency awarded by Arts Council England.

Her whimsical table scapes and still-life compositions are rich with detail and intrigue, offering a poetic counterpoint to the other works in the exhibition. This collection demonstrates that Eska has truly found her unique artistic voice, and it is genuinely a pleasure to have the opportunity to represent her again.

You can explore Eska’s full collection online now.
