"I use a biro because it's the simplest and most readily available tool to hand. I hope that means that it might encourage others to get creative if they normally wouldn't – you don't need an easel and oil paints to be an artist after all." – Mark Powell

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.
