Mark Powell

With the humble Bic Biro as his tool of choice, Brighton-based Powell creates intricate portraits on antique documents. His favoured subjects are the elderly, a natural fit for the paper he uses and his detailed style: postmarks and typography merge with pen strokes to create a captivating whole. In contrast, Powell's paintings (on cardboard and other found materials) exhibit street art and advertising influences while maintaining extraordinary detail.
