Description

During his fine art studies, British Mixed Media Artist Mark Davies became heavily influenced by the compositional qualities of Piero Della Francesca and Giuseppe Arcimboldo, whilst at the same time finding inspiration in Surrealism and notably the work of Salvador Dali. These early influences took Mark on a journey that ultimately led him to the creation of artwork with complex and multi-layered narratives; re-imagined by a new storyteller, as he breathed new life into age-old tales and cult films.

Mark’s signature ‘Storyteller’ collection showcases his ability to conceive and implement his own unique narrative into cherished fairy tales and classical fictional stories to stunning effect. Inspired by the eloquence of Hans Christian Andersen and ingenuity of the Grimm Brothers, a whole host of much-loved stories have been turned on their head. Each chapter has been re-written as Mark embraces the often much more sinister plot and motives of the original authors; ideas that most people are not aware of as these classics have been re-told through the generations and the darker tones have fallen away.
