About Marcus Shriver

Marcus Shriver (he/him) is a Chicanx photographer utilizing 80’s and 90’s technology to interpret current events in a fashion that blends the past and the contemporary. His work focuses on history, place, culture, and displacement. Marcus’s experiences with displacement as an adoptee gleam through his work through themes of lost history and finding culture. Shriver’s piece, Flower Park, a piece that highlights the cluttered beauty and complex interactions of cars and space in Beacon Hill, Seattle, was recently exhibited in Nepantla Cultural Art Gallery’s Chicanx Art Show in Seattle. He also enjoyed an out of state photo show in September having his piece, Sun-drenched, a piece that shares the old glory of a street parked 60’s VW Beetle waiting to be used, exhibited in Black Box Gallery’s Focus: Shadow and Light photo show. Marcus’s piece, On Jackson’s Street, a piece focused on the ongoing gentrification of the International District in Seattle, was also included in Black Box Gallery’s Landscape and Architecture: 2022 photo show, Annex. Earlier in the year Marcus showed two other pieces, Sunrise Slowdown and Resting Ruby in Nepantla Cultural Art Gallery’s Lowrider Art Show in celebration of the thriving lowrider culture that has sustained in Seattle’s Latinx community.
