Marshall has explained that his “overarching principle is still to move the Black figure from the periphery to the center and, secondly, to have these figures operate in a wide range of historical genres and stylistic modes culled from the history of painting...What I’m trying to do in my work is address Absence with a capital A.” The figure in 'Untitled (Mask Boy)' is in a moment of unveiling, baring himself to the viewer. The works concerns the faces we show to the world—the act of masking and unmasking, artifice vs. reality, assumption vs. truth.
