Mark Roscoe RP

Bio

Mark Roscoe’s meteoric progression makes him one to watch. His Self Portrait entry was used for advertising the 1998 BP Portrait Award, which helped to establish his reputation as a portrait painter. When Mark first exhibited with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, he won the ‘Changing Faces Award’, a commission to paint a portrait. The resulting work was exhibited the following year, winning him the top prize, the ‘ Ondaatje Prize for Portraiture. ‘  A couple of years later, he was elected as an associate member and was soon promoted to full membership.

After completing a large number of commissions for private clients, corporate and academic institutions from the UK and internationally, Mark is still as enthusiastic about commissions and meeting new people as he was in the late 90’s.

Mark studied Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art where he achieved a BA (Hons) Degree (drawing and painting)
