With a sense of the documentary his on going body of work builds into a catalogue of characters and comic situations that heavily reference the world around him. Within this basic framework there are themes that Mark returns to, feeling drawn to the military, childhood, national pride and uniform, all of which give a strong visual identity for the artist to play with. His latest paintings are inspired by the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the on going Falkland Islands dispute.
For his first solo show at Nancy Victor, Mark will be showing new and existing works including animations, screen prints and paintings.
