Mark Halsey

Mark Halsey was born in Hull in 1961. His work is held in corporate and private collections in Britain and overseas. Mark's paintings range from large canvases to small works on paper in oils and mixed media. Always referring to the human form, the paintings reach beyond the boundaries of literal art. Spontaneous splashes of paint and earthy hues throw celestial light across a fusion of the figure and landscape. A strong use of light and colour is used to enhance a powerful physical presence. It is the mood of the painting and the emotions aroused that are of paramount importance.
