Mark Spain is one of the UK’s most distinguished contemporary artists. His powerful and atmospheric figurative work makes him the natural successor to the painters who have inspired and influenced the progression of his style, including Degas, Mucha and Singer Sargent. His distinctive use of strong, dark colours combines with the poses he prefers – classic reclining figures, elegant dance postures or romantic idealisations of the female form - to give his work a drama and beauty that makes them stand out from his contemporaries. His reputation has been forged over many years as a major artistic force, first in the UK and then on the world stage.
