Signed in pencil lower right by the artist. Gold leaf framed with cream linen mat w/ gold fillet. Born in Birmingham in 1957, Mark Godwin graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1982 with an MA in Printmaking. After graduation Mark worked for several years as a copperplate printer and plate-maker at various London print publishing studios. His technical skill and ability to transpose ideas into a successful print were eagerly sought after. These years of working closely with individual artists had a profound effect upon Mark and gave him added confidence to pursue his own artistic vision. Mark's development as an artist gathered pace after moving into an ACME Studio space in the east end of London. Here Mark combined his undoubted skill as a printmaker with his other passions for painting and collage. His confident use of color, and complex compositions, often on a large scale, became the hallmarks of his work. A re-occurring theme in Mark's work is the romantic idea of the sublime, a notion strongly associated with the sea and coastline. There is now a strong bias in Mark's work towards painting, both on canvas and paper. Mark has an assured way of handling paint, and a mature confidence in his subject matter. His print making activity nowadays is centered on making small suites of unique mono-prints. Mark Godwin has exhibited regularly both here in the UK and abroad, including numerous International Art Fairs. His work features in many corporate art collections and is purchased by private collectors worldwide.
