About the Artist:
Mark Mitchell is an international artist and painter of Conceptual Pop Art. As a PRATT grad, SVA alum, and former advertising creative director, he has spent his entire career perfecting his visual communication skills.

Mitchell's work has been exhibited during ART BASEL MIAMI at SCOPE, shared on SEE|ME digital displays at THE LOUVRE and ARMORY ARTS WEEK NYC, selected by pop-surrealism master RON ENGLISH for BATON ROUGE GALLERY, and gained west coast exposure at bG GALLERY, Santa Monica.

He is a proud recipient of the CREATIVE PINELLAS Emerging Artist Grant 2019-20, and a Warehouse Arts District Association member.

Always in pursuit of "The Big Idea", Mark has learned how to put concept first, and manipulate imagery to surprise, provoke and reward the viewer. "I believe in art that conveys ideas. My process begins with an observation and a reaction. I explore symbolic and metaphoric visuals, and employ a collage approach to create unique and engaging paintings in acrylic on canvas. By drawing on the power of pop culture, I repurpose its icons, styles and techniques to deliver a more personal artistic statement."

Through the use of meaningful juxtaposition and social commentary, Mark Mitchell's work is an exploration of the irony, contradiction, parallels and harmony to be found in 21st-century life.
