Mark Yates
Bradford born artist Mark Yates trained as a graphic designer and went on to begin a career in sign writing and graphic art. He designed album sleeves for his own international, rock band Terrorvision in which he is the guitarist and co-songwriter.
Taking influences from the 1960's “lady pictures” of Tretchikoff and Lynch, and album sleeve artwork of the 1970's, Mark has developed his own unique style; bold and sleek and still using his sign writing brushes. Working also as a qualified calligrapher, Mark introduces a fun element to a normally serious art world.
Painting on to both canvas and wood, using re-claimed paint, Mark's work is gradually cropping up in a variety of venues world wide. At last Yates' “conversation provoking” images are available in print form onto canvas and perspex via his web site. Portraits and commissions are also welcome.
