About Mark Elsmore RI

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

"A successful painting is an enduring painting. The completed work is never truly finished because the viewer continues to explore their own interpretation.”

Method of Working

I work best when I have a reason to paint. If I can find or make-up an accompanying story all the better, it keeps me interested. I like to transform ‘the ordinary’ into ‘the epic’.  The Potteries continues to fascinate me but I’m not a slave to my locality, Hanley or Alderney, Burslem or Berlin, I’m searching for the story and a way to paint it

Biographical Details

Born in The Potteries, North Staffordshire, Mark has a six-generation family connection with the Pottery Industry. “Stoke-on-Trent has always been a place of artistry, to continue that tradition is a privilege. I think the techniques of those pottery painters must influence a style.” A self-taught artist, Mark is based in the Staffordshire Moorlands and has been painting professionally since 1994.
