Mark Thompson

"The paintings in particular are works of memory – the slow development or exposure of a photograph being both a useful metaphor and an actuality in my practice. The filter of memory appears to retain only what is personally important, and the inevitable mix of my own history and experience fills in the gaps. Only that which remains is important – the extraneous and fleeting are not registered. The final image is therefore a remnant, the world distilled. This remembered world inevitably fades and decays, and I catch all I can before there is nothing left. This is my starting point."

next exhibition - March 3rd, 2017

The next exhibition will be at The Accessible Art Fair, Brussels, Belgium. I will have available a suite of fourteen new paintings and twelve works on paper, and I will be present for the duration of the fair to present the works and discuss my practice. The fair, now in its twelfth year, is a wonderful opportunity for viewers to interact with artists directly.
