MARK DOYLE

Mark Doyle is a mixed-media artist living and working in Edinburgh. Graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 2005 he received a first class (hons) degree in painting, as well as a number of awards, such as the Andrew Grant Bequest and the George Jackson Hutchison Memorial Prize.

Mark works in an eclectic range of disciplines, from sculpture to digital work, and has a particular interest in experimental printmaking processes. He has exhibited in various galleries in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London and is also represented in a number of private collections. Since setting up his Edinburgh studio in 2011 Mark has worked on a number of personal print projects and experimented with various sculptural processes as well as collaborating with emerging Scottish writers and poets.

'My work is inspired by the potential of print to be viewed as a tactile, three dimensional form in its own right. Through accentuating the physical characteristics of my printed work I encourage the viewer to contemplate it differently than they would purely a two dimensional picture plane'.
