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.
Jelena Veljkovic

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.

The website is very well made and easy to navigate. After choosing the art I wanted, I went ahead to buy it expecting to receive the usual emails on "your order is accepted", "your order is being processed" etc, but not the case at all! Mérédith updated me on everything - when my art is being packaged and where it is shipping from, when they have sent it out, and even tracked the shipping for me and asked if everything was fine after I have received the artwork. The dedication and meticulousness of the Rise Art team is truly impressive. I will definitely buy art from Rise Art again.

My experience with Rise Art has been wonderful. I was kindly informed about the status of my purchase and delivery. And the two works of art by Julia Shanaytsa's work is wonderfully inspiring and speaks to me deeply. Thank you. I'm really looking forward to taking the artwork to the framer and hanging it up in my home soon.

I was initially a little skeptical about buying art from the other side of the world and having it shipped internationally but honestly, this has been one of the smoothest, easiest purchases I’ve ever made. From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. I was kept informed throughout the entire process and was even reminded ahead of time about the customs fee. The artwork was so carefully packaged and arrived completely unscathed. I’m absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and would definitely purchase through Rise Art again.

Really impressed by the service, regular communications and quality of the artwork received. The website was easy to view and shop from with lots of relevant information to help with artwork selection. I received regular email updates which was really useful as it kept me in the know at all times. I could anticipate the tax payment and delivery. Thank you so much.

Buying my first piece of art online felt like a big deal, and Rise Art made it an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their collection is massive—every style, every format, something for literally every kind of space and vibe. Meredith from the Rise Art team was in touch the whole way through, from when I hit “purchase” to when the piece landed on my doorstep. It felt thoughtful and personal, which isn’t what you expect with online shopping. Safe to say this won’t be my last piece from them.
