Dancing With Fire, Touching The Sky, Kissing The Sun

Mark’s work explores the formal relationships of colour and shape and their potential for emotional affect, this work examines the capacity of art to animate a space in a positive way. The meticulously painted image reveals a sense of dynamic unity and balance with the illusion of three dimensions, within an underlying circular composition. Acrylic painting on cotton duck ultra-smooth canvas. The canvas is primed and sanded down to a smooth surface. Paint is then laid on flat in layers with a brush to a fine, crisp finish.
