Artist’s Statement:
Much of art is the language of colour; Mark’s work is essentially the colour of language. Through classical training and working closely with the speciality of formal lettering, He is developing contemporary works that encompass a more individual and meaningful style of presentation that plays, engages, and provokes through the medium of text, letters and language.

In essence they are textural word-pictures that evoke mood and create atmosphere.
