Mark Spray - “Earthbound” by Michael
Jay The Great Atlantic Galleries - March 2007.
Born and raised in the North of England, Mark Spray has been resident in
West Cornwall since 2000. He was a student at Manchester Metropolitan University
(1992-95) and Goldsmiths College, London (1998-99). He is now a dedicated
artist living and working in the Land’s End area.
His current work features two elements of the landscape around him. Concentrating
on the more desolate areas of Penwith, he has produced a series of “Moorland” paintings. Each
painting highlights a particular aspect of a moorland area, be it a matter of
perspective, as in “Chun Downs, heading east” and “Away
from Chun Quoit” or some intimate detail as in the enchantingly titled “Chapel
Carn Brea, where foxes tread”.
