MARK
FISHER ~ ARTIST STATEMENT
Features in landscape and buildings fascinate me and this is reflected in my work. I am interested
in light and dark, line, shape, colour, mass, texture, and perspective.
I use these elements to draw you into my work.
I work quickly having planned the painting in my head and through various drawings
carried out on location, backed up by photographs.
My art
is a way of closely observing and so fully appreciating the landscape surrounding me.
I mainly work in acrylic as I like the speed
of this medium. I sometimes add a heavy impasto paste to add texture and relief.
Over many years I have enjoyed studying,
practising and perfecting many drawing and painting techniques and employ many traditional and innovative painting techniques
in my own work.
