The beautiful figurative oil paintings
of Mark Spain have established him as one of the UK's most acclaimed
artists.
Mark says: "Having experimented with
many forms of imagery in recent years, figurative work has been the
most challenging and satisfying. My main goals are always to create
a certain amount of movement within the image, with particular
emphasis on setting a mood and atmosphere. I would like the viewer
to be intrigued as to the possible thoughts of the subject, which
can only add to the effect of the picture. Pictures I believe must
have a life of their own to allow an ongoing interest. By taking
plenty of time to study the view, the person or the composition that
I am about to paint, I can decide the areas that require toning down
and the areas that need to be made more vivid, if any, in order to
emphasise the character." |
