In the past few years, he was awarded seven times as ARTSLANT PRIZE SHOWCASE WINNER, selected for exhibition by pop-surrealism master RON ENGLISH, and is a recipient of the CREATIVE PINELLAS EMERGING ARTIST GRANT 2019-20.“I believe in art that conveys ideas”, says Mitchell. “My process begins with an observation and a reaction. I explore symbolic and metaphoric imagery, and employ a collage technique to create unique and powerful paintings in acrylic on canvas. It’s Pop Art with a message.”Today, Mitchell’s approach as a fine artist is to draw on the power of mass media and pop culture, while repurposing its icons, imagery and techniques to deliver a more personal artistic statement. Through the use of meaningful juxtaposition and social commentary, Mark Mitchell’s work is an exploration of the irony, contradiction, parallels and harmony to be found in 21st-century life.
