Comments on Liverpool International Artists Exhibition

“Mark’s visually discordant artworks are extraordinary, disturbing and beautiful. The quality of his work is more akin to painting than photography and could be described as a fusion of Expressionism and Photo-Realism.  His work is fascinating on different levels: Firstly, in some works, you decipher amidst the chaos, images of people moving, hurrying; then secondly, confusion takes over and you enjoy the work in its abstraction; then thirdly, in other works, you enjoy the space of empty corporate architecture, where few people exist".

Terry Duffy, Curator, Liverpool International Artists Exhibition.

The University of Salford has a great interest in the artistic heritage of the North West, and it is a real statement to have these works of art as focal points in the newly refurbished University House - the University of Salford's HQ for Student Life". Liz Bromley, Director of Student Life
