Robert Burkall Marsh (born 1950) is a Welsh-born painter who moved to New Zealand as a child. His style has moved from photo-realist to expressionist.[1]

Born in Cardiff, Wales in 1950,[1] Marsh emigrated with his family to Auckland, New Zealand, where he was educated at Westlake Boys' High School.[2] He then attended the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland from 1967 to 1970,[1] where he obtained a Diploma of Fine Arts.[2] From 1975 to 1978 he studied at the Royal College of Art in London, gaining a MA in painting.[1]

A prizewinner in the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition, Marsh has taught at Southwark College.[1] His solo exhibitions, mainly in London and New Zealand, have included the Mertz Gallery and the Royal College of Pathologists.[1]

Examples of his works are in collections including the National Theatre, the Granada Foundation,[1] and the Royal College of Art.[3]
