    "There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

    In the collage Dark Angel (1989) Marshall presents a black figure with striking white eyes and teeth. The collage technique brings color to the piece, and makes the face of a Black figure appear. The contours of the completely black surface of a figure come to the fore against a graffiti background. The face of the Dark Angel is a comic-like representation including. This work was shown at Documenta 12, in 2007, in Kassel.
