ABOUT MARK ROSCOE
Mark Roscoe was born in Australia but spent his formative years attending various schools in the UK. As a child, he quickly developed an understanding of drawing and painting, which led him to study Fine Art (Drawing and Painting) at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art during his late teens.
A self-portrait he painted in his final year at university was used to advertise the 1998 BP Portrait Awards at the National Portrait Gallery, which established his reputation as a portrait artist. The recognition from his early success, coupled with his honest, down to earth, and professional approach to commissions, has garnered him favour with numerous academic and corporate institutions both within the UK and internationally.
The diversity of Mark’s painting style and technique provides endless possibilities, ranging from subtle, timeless, and traditional portraits to large, expressive abstract works, and everything in between.
In addition to his commission work, Mark is also an exhibiting artist who has participated in both group and solo exhibitions in the UK. He has received multiple art and portrait awards, including the ‘Ondaatje Prize for Portraiture,’ the ‘Changing Faces Award,’ and the ‘Jacksons Open Art Prize.’
COMMISSIONS
PORTRAIT SITTINGS
Mark will visit your home or workplace for one or two sittings at your convenience. The sittings will be informal and provide an opportunity to discuss and plan the portrait and share some life stories. He will create some drawings and/or take photographs to use as reference for the portrait. Most of the work will be completed in his studio, but throughout the process, you will have the opportunity to provide input.
