Mark Upton

Mark’s influences stem from a variety of sources, including Eduardo Paolozzi, Igor Mitoraj, Alberto Giacometti, mythology, ancient cultures and nature versus nurture.

He has exhibited his work at many distinguished exhibitions throughout the country and has undertaken a number of commissions. These include a commission for the Joseph Wilkes Sculpture for Leicestershire County Council, as well as a commission for the Lincoln School of Science and Technology.

Mark writes:  “Essentially I am a modeller. My work has been predominantly figurative and is under-pinned by a strong technique and sensitive aesthetic. Recent works have been concerned with symbols and images while others have a more representational, part abstracted feel.  My work is constantly developing as I broaden my horizon to the world around me but I feel that my interest in the “human condition” will always be prominent in my work.”
