Artwork by Mark Curryer

Award-nominated Mark Curryer's celebrated style suits many differing depictions of well known cityscapes from all over the world. These include London, Paris & New York.

Born in Eastbourne in 1967, Mark always had a keen interest in drawing and painting and at an early age, he won a number of competitions for his drawings. When he left school, Mark went on to study 3D Design at Eastbourne Art College in the mid-eighties.

Having forged a career in computerised finance for many years, the draw towards art was ever present and Mark has now been able to return to his first love, painting. He has a dedicated studio at his home in Eastbourne.

Mark paints using acrylics and has a distinctive, bold style. His work is inspired by architecture and moody cityscapes, he is fascinated by rainy nights and the way light plays in reflections. His work is created with little, or no, brush work, instead he uses a multitude of items including rollers and scrapers to achieve the textures and effects in his work. Although at first glance his paintings appear impressionistic, on closer inspection, it can be seen that he enjoys including small areas of detail which interestingly link the eye to the setting of the paintings.
