Mark Burrell (born 1957) is a British Artist and long resident in Lowestoft, UK. He spent a year during his childhood in Libya. Returning to Lowestoft he studied art at Lowestoft College before travelling throughout Europe. Burrell has won numerous prizes for his art which has featured in many books, book covers and magazines. He is also, along with Peter Rodulfo, a leading member of the collective known as the North Sea Magical Realists. ==Critical Appraisal== In a career now spanning several decades, Burrell has exhibited his paintings throughout East Anglia, London, and the USA, receiving much critical acclaim, including the following - : ''Burrell's work is obsessive and probing, revealing underlying elements that question ones sense of self. A psychotic surrealism that is a refreshing assault on ritualised aesthetics'' 〔East Anglian Daily Times December 2000〕 : ''The paintings by Mark Burrell convey rare command of a very peculiar and very English painter, for Mark is essentially a story teller who employs pigment rather than words to construct allegories, fables and fictions. His fantastic narratives are as much concerned with plot, setting and character as they are with line space and colour''.〔Images Magazine 1990 by Tony Collins, Head of School of Art and Design, Lowestoft College, Suffolk〕 : ''…(His) paintings are colourful and often very personal, and at times very mysterious indeed, these paintings can be looked at again and again, there are touches of humour as well as the darker side of life, from strange green beings growing out of bushes, communing with ghosts, to sheep in fields flying''.〔Eastern Daily Press, Arts Review〕 : ''Mark paints symbolist figurative oils with psychic, religious or political themes, often dealing with intense states of mind or emotion, a highly patterned world in beautiful states of decay.'' 〔 Wilde Contemporary Art, The Mall Galleries, London 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Burrell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
