Mark Metcalfe

Mark Metcalfe is known for his emotive, dramatic and realistic paintings, capturing compelling portraits, nudes and scenes of intrigue. Some characters are unique in the way they communicate feelings of nostalgia, tension and others allude to the language of myth and allegory.

Mark completed a BA in Fine Art from London Metropolitan University and an MA in Printmaking from UAL.

"The Banal Lapses of Heroes" is a collection of prints, drawings, paintings and sculptures that reconstruct and reimagine narratives, playing with the themes of collective memory to externalise hidden emotions.

Each piece in the collection is underpinned with archetypes and symbolic gesture to immerse the viewer into the emotive language of such symbolism across the history of painting and it's function.

The insider Jelena Veljkovic says:

If you want figurative work that is not simply mimesis, then the work of Mark Metcalfe will be of interest to you. I see Mark as a contemporary Caravaggio, invoking ideas about vanity, hope, disbelief, uncertainty, transformation and unafraid to challenge taboo. His chiaroscuro and tenebroso effects in the treatment of formal figures always aims to incite dramatic and metaphorical meanings. In his iconography and treatment of forms, he returns the image to its original function; the painting becomes an allegory, designed for the communication of moral, didactic and religious thoughts.
