About the artist Mark Grieves

Newcastle upon Tyne born, Mark works exclusively in oils, he always starts with a completely black canvas and add highlights until he finds the balance in contrast. He works hard at composition and at the geometry emphasising light and shadow. He also likes titles to give clues: there is always a strong sense of narrative. Marks hugely successful musical series was a complete sell-out with his former publishers and his originals and limited editions often sold within a few days of issue.
