Mark Powell's artistic and musical heroes are often a source of inspiration and the subject of his captivating Bic biro drawings. Afrobeat legend Tony Allen is best known for his contribution to Fela Kuti band's unique sound; the British musician and producer Brian Eno described Allen as “perhaps the greatest drummer who ever lived”.

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.
