Specialty Digital Artist
Biography Mark Candlin was born in 1962 and has lived in Surrey, the greenest
county in England all his life.
On leaving school Mark studied at Epsom School of Art and Design and
was privileged to be taught by Frank Hampson the creator of Dan-Dare.
"Art colleges in the late 70's were a hot bed of creativity, there
were
no real constraints levied on the students and you were encouraged to
pursue your own agenda and style; happy days!"
After leaving college Mark worked in advertising as a designer and
illustrator but eventually became frustrated by the creative
constraints of the industry at that time. It was at this time that
Mark became interested
in decorative and traditional folk art. This interest led to a series
of commissions in murals, trompe l'oeil and sign writing.
Mark's latest work is a fusion between traditional and digital art
He has recently completed a series of prints celebrating the beauty of
rhododendron blooms, inspired after a visit this spring to the
National Trust rhododendron gardens at Leith Hill.
Mark also undertakes portraiture and house portraits on commission.
Statement "The creative possibilities the digital age has brought to artists in
all mediums are simply amazing. It means that a whole new approach to
the creative process can take place. Although I work both
traditionally and digitally the bias is always towards a traditional
feel to a piece of work".
