Episode 32 of The Artists Contemporary Podcast with @mark__connolly is now live!

Mark is a London based painter and set designer who studied at Edinburgh College of Art and The Royal Drawing School. Mark creates large scale paintings that are all a part of a world and his creative language.

Mark’s favourite Friday night activity is to go to the National Gallery and to really connect with the work. While at the Royal Drawing School he worked on a project where he spent many weeks just creating one drawing in the National Gallery. Mark also talks about the importance of taking a weekend and time as an artist to get fresh eyes and separation from your work.

In 2020 Mark collaborated with @alice__mac on a painting installation at @wellsprojects. The artists embraced the history of Wells Projects in Clapham of being a night club. They used their painting language snd set design background to create dancing figures. This created and interactive experience for the which is something that you don’t expect to see in a painting exhibition.
