Mark I'Anson
Mark I'Anson was born in Glasgow in 1968. He studied at Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen, from 1988-1992 and has since worked full time as a painter. Whether his source material is from life, found photographs or a combination of both, the starting point and foundation of all his pictures is drawing. Mixing pencil work with translucent glazes of paint he produces evocative and compelling paintings that provoke a response from the viewer.
Since 1994, Mark has had fourteen solo exhibitions in London, Scotland and Canada, including two solo touring exhibitions; 'The Dream Team' with the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in 2003/4 and 'Drifter' with the Highland Council and the Scottish Fisheries Museum in 2006. In 2008, he focussed on a project of work to be exhibited at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal FC.
Mark's work can be seen in several public collections and is owned by numerous private collectors in the UK, USA, Canada, and Europe. His paintings are exhibited in only two other galleries in the UK; we are delighted to be able to show them.
