Kade Marsili (b.1995) is a Seattle-based figurative painter originally hailing from Kent, Ohio. After studying at Kent State University, he received his BFA in 2018, and has since exhibited work in San Francisco, Chicago, Seattle, and New York City. His work features portraits of queer youth, composed comfortably into environments designed around them, and explores concepts of personal belonging and identity. Drawing inspiration from classical and contemporary portraiture, as well as fashion photography, and interior design, Marsili captures these realistic – yet stylized figures in fields in colors, surrounded by house plants, trendy furniture, and pattern.
