I have so many vivid memories as a kid being taken to football matches by my Dad, Michael, be it Saturdays at Luton Town or long trips up to Elland Road. Yet it was the real treat when you were taken to Wembley to watch an England game, it was always about how you felt seeing those famous towers and all of the football coaches parked up that I remember more than the game itself. Coming home with a flag or sweatbands that you would cherish long after the game.
I’ve only been to the new Wembley once (all part of being a Leeds fan!) and whilst it is a magnificent arena it is nothing in comparison to the stature of seeing those towers appear. So that was the aim for this piece, to create a scene where the stadium loomed up suddenly between buildings with a real sense of magnificence. Nostalgia personified.
What we see took an absolute age as I wanted to create a perfect scenario within the London street scene. I wanted to feature an iconic green tiled boozer and a proper old-school high street shop that we can all relate to. I saw the opportunity to link nicely in with the format of ‘The Memory Remains’ and I am really pleased with how it has turned out!
The piece is actually celebrating the World Cup win of 1966 with so much of the details paying homage to the Ramsey boys who lifted the ‘Jules Rimet’, there are some really subtle but beautiful details for you to seek out. However, the more you look you realise that the scene is actually set in the late 80’s, references to ‘Live Aid’ and the Queen sell out Wembley concert all help to build the story.
Those who follow my work closely will know that I love to inject a multi-layered narrative where possible and this is the case with this piece. ‘Greavsies Rentals’ is a quirky TV rental shop like so many of us can remember. This detail in itself provided a really great quality to the scene but right from the start I had wanted to feature a reference to the wheeler and dealer Del Boy.
I had originally intended to just have his three wheeler parked up in the side street but the more personality that grew from the rentals shop and the questionable quality of the goods I chose to showcase the source of the TV’s by insinuating that it was actually Mr Trotter himself that was supplying Greavsie! It is just a wonderful bit of randomness that I feel takes this piece away from simply being able to be embraced by football fans. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

‘Aurora’ features 3 intense images that are inspired by Disney’s blockbuster movie ‘Frozen’ that the long awaited sequel that is released in cinemas today! Mark admits to being a fan, of the movie albeit not the lead song! His ‘Storyteller’ works offered stunning interpretations of many of Disney’s iconic masterpieces and Frozen has long been on the radar.
Mark’s personal bond with Lapland stems from spending two holidays there over Christmas and the magic has created a lasting impression. The connection with the Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and the haunting vocals of Arnor Dan are without doubt all linked to the emotions that come from being immersed in such stunning natural beauty.
The aim for ‘Aurora’ was to continue to create art with meaning - especially when taking on something that is so commercial as ‘Frozen’. The images themselves needed to evoke the magic of the film and to be easily identifiable but with an exploration of the complexities of the characters shown. As with so many of Mark’s work there is connection to be made by those who can relate the character’s emotion even if completely unrelated to the film.

Following on from my 2016 piece entitled ‘Marry Me Bitch!’ from Beauty & The Beast I wanted to create something different, albeit using the same powerful colour ways and capture the emotion between the two characters to be in line with this collection.
So using the style you see in this piece I have looked to depict and amplify the passion between the two dancers, to showcase the sense of surrender by Belle in her partner’s arms whilst also capturing the movement of the dance in an abstract fashion. Parts of the image move vertically in comparison to others that move horizontally whilst some are more prominent - it is the balance of creating depth and shape whilst leaving some of the facial detail softer to embrace those who love to imagine that they are Belle, or the Beast maybe!.
Without doubt this narrative has a dark side to it and works beautifully against all things good, the detailing within the background depicts this with subtle elements moving out from the shadows towards the characters that interact with the tiny lighting details. My hope for this piece is that I have done this adored image justice and taken it to a different place that embraces what this collection is all about, showcasing the lengths and sacrifices that people will go to for love.
