"Meander, Cuckmere Haven" by Mark Harrison

 

...The first painting in what seems to be an annual event of me trying things out, this time round including going back to painting on board (coming up next). I have felt that my work is getting a bit chocolate box, too pretty and picturesque and seeing as I want to get back to selling in the "fine art" market I need to give my work a more contemporary look without leaving behind things I have learnt over the past few years. I am still going to have at the core of all these trials my interest in colour, design (composition) and atmosphere.... and still develop my painting of skies without as I say, going too chocolate box.

 

I have returned to a favourite local landscape, Cuckmere Haven for this one as I wanted a landscape with strong shapes in it but this time instead of having the strong abstract curve of the river meander dominating the composition I have made the thin strip of light on the horizon the focus of the picture and knocked back the meander. I am trying to replicate what it would look like if you were looking towards the light in the sky and everything else goes back tonally to compensate for the brightness. To try and give it a more contemporary look I have kept the composition simple and strong with a kind of false colour to take it away from being too representational.....

Feeling constricted by the demands of  illustration in 2003 Mark devotes all his time to painting  for sale in fine Art Galleries!!!!

 

Mark Harrison now paints mainly in oil on board. Many paintings focus on atmospheric landscapes and cityscapes, mainly London, New York and Venice, but he has also developed a more idiosyncratic style and content, reflecting an interest in more elusively symbolic and surreal subject matter. Most recently Harrison has developed an interest in plein air painting: landscapes started in acrylic on location and finished in oil in the studio.

 

 

Mark Harrison exhibits regularly at the London Affordable Art Fair, Art in Action and at various UK galleries. His paintings have been accepted for the Pastel Society Open Exhibition (2005 & 2006), the Royal Society of British Artists (2008) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (2008 & 2010).

 

 

His work is often featured in magazines, including Artists & Illustrators (2009) and International Artist (2006 & 2011). He was a finalist in the International Artist Landscape Challenge (Feb/Mar 2011) with his plein air painting, ‘Flax field from Cissbury Ring’.
