Welcome to Mark's quirky world of art

 

 

 

Mark Williams is one of the most talented Welsh artists to emerge in recent years, a painter who exhibits considerable insight and flair in his images depicting both the industrial and rural landscapes of his native South Wales.

Williams employs his ability as a technical draughtsman in work that adopts the precision of highly detailed drawings. He also applies his great imaginative and narrative skills to a range of formats that include illustration and cartoons. His paintings describe compelling "visual stories" that reveal a perceptive humour and sense of irony in recounting both the history and myths of the region and the everyday prosaic lives of its current citizens.

"My own geographical location is South-East Wales, the ancient kindgom of Gwent - or the former county of Monmouthshire if you prefer. It's a place that inspires me as an artis and in painting pictures 'about' it, I endeavour to present a mirror on the world" (Mark Williams)
