Mark Spain has always been interested in art right from an early age. After having attended Art College, Mark decided he favoured printmaking and opened up a print making studio in Kent where Mark spent many years developing his etching and collagraph techniques.
After the storm of October 1997 Mark Spain was commissioned to produce a limited edition etching of Kew Gardens. Other Mark Spain commissions have included ones for Natwest Bank and The Dorchester Hotel.
Mark Spain's art began with a love of landscape images and has had many etching editions published by CCA Galleries of London. These were successful and spanned many years. However, as time went on Mark felt the need to develop other forms of imagery from abstract to figurative. Mark Spain is constantly experimenting with different subjects and techniques, which he then applys to a variety of images. Although this is new to Mark he has thoroughly enjoyed and embraced the new challenge.
Collagraphs from Mark Spain have been exhibited at Mall Galleries, and Mark's abstract oils at the 20th Century British Art Fair as well as other works being shown at the Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Show and the Barbican Contemporary Print Fair. More recently, Mark Spain's figurative works have been published by Washington Green.
