MARK SERMON
Mark is a mixed media artist who paints landscapes in acrylic, paints and inks. With an emphasis on texture, he explores different textures and how they can create detail and depth. Mark’s emphasis on texture comes from a fascination with how surface structure affects light and form. Through his work he hopes to make the viewer feel as if they want to touch the painting and give them an experience beyond viewing it. Mark says: “My work is about using texture to create a sense of place – having something tangible within the painting which evokes an emotion. It’s taken me about two years to nd a working method that produces the results I want. Aside from the time and money spent, a lot of work ended up in the bin until, bit by bit, I learnt what worked. Most people who see my work want to touch the surface as it’s not something they have seen before.”
