My name is Mark Chadwick and I studied Fine Art at UCE and Sutton Coldfield since 2001 exploring a wide range of methods in painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and print. My main area of interest is in painting and my recent works have involved the process of making marks with tools and mechanical objects such as toy cars. I have completed my MA course in Fine Art where I exhibited at the Fine Art Show - Clutching at Straws.
My Work
My art practice is concerned by the use of machines in the production of an artwork. With our culture becoming more and more engaged with new technologies, my work questions the implications of handing over control of an artwork to a mechanical device.
With the actions of any machine the result of human intention, I use machines to allow chance to enter the creative process, exploring ideas surrounding authorship, consciousness and interaction.
I allow my tools to create their marks and record its action in a physical way on to the canvas. Currently my work is concerned with painting process as the performance aspect of the production of an artwork, exploring the relationship forged between materials, aesthetics and perception across cultures. I use machines/technology to allow paintings to make themselves in order to further remove the hand of the artist. Once set in motion I often remove myself from the studio and painting process.
All my work can also be found on my website at www.markchadwick.co.uk. All my paintings seen on flickr are for sale, if you are interested visit my website or ebay auctions but some have already been sold. Thanks for viewing my page!!!

His work is energetic and calming, chaotic and peaceful, exciting and soothing all at the same time causing me to be unable to tear my eyes from it. One day, I hope to own one of his works. Until such time, I will continue to come back to his flickr page and admire it online.
