Mark Powell



London base artist Mark Powell loves his Biro pen (Ballpoint pen), most often the only thing he uses to create his images. Discarded maps, used envelopes and postcards act as canvases for the amazing portraits of elderly people. Nicely incorporating the lines, wrinkles and post stamps of the recycled material into his work. some of his recycled materials are over 200 year old maps, deeds, newspapers...

Mark Powell; 'If you make a mistake you destroy two things: the drawing and the document. I like that pressure to get it right.'

Nobuhiro Nakanishi



This is the amazing multi-layered world of Japanese artist Nobuhiro Nakanishi. His work is defined by the subtle changes of time turned into a three-dimensional physical sculpture or installation. It is a completely different experience from the typical flat picture we are used to.
Nobuhiro Nakanishi calls it multi layered drawings. Photographs taken over a period of time are printed out and mounted on acryl sheets.
