Hi. My name is Mark Dixey. I originally come from Leicester. The Leicester museum has a good collection of German Expressionist paintings and prints. Back then I found them fascinating. This is definitely the biggest influence on my style and choice of media.
The challenge of creating an image that moves in some way is what drives me to work the way I do. Disciplined and minimal. I have no formal training and tend to produce what I find pleasing, challenging, and hopefully saying something to the viewer.
Please click here for examples of my work.
I am inspired by storytelling that can be both imaginative and influenced by real life stories/events.
They are colourful, imaginative and expressive. I produce both figurative and abstract work, which are often inspired by nature. In my subjects of nature, I am also interested in animals and their relationships to nature and the flora and fauna that co-exist.
I use a variety of techniques such as dry point, monoprint, collagraph, linocut. Exploring different printmaking techniques offers the possibilities of creating expressive images.
I often combine dry point and monotype techniques and use a painterly approach to applying the colours.
