The artworks of Mark Wooller are fresh, new and rich in both meaning and technique. His work reflects his surroundings and his inspiration lies around him in everyday natural objects from the sticks on the forest floor, to the stones of nearby cascading rivers and the bounty of the ocean. Taking such images he weaves them into compositions, enriching them in symbolism, and detailing them with reverence.
The works offer the viewer a new way of looking at nature, and all Mark’s works give a feeling of serenity and peace that you can’t but surrender to.
[read more]Mark's new Series of works "Bush and Lots" reflect a change of style, subject and manner of work. These finely detailed pieces take many hours of painting, each tree 'landscaped' into the next, creating forest and bush scenes that are both familiar and comforting.
In historical contract real estate speculation and the wholesale carving up of the land are overlaid on this virgin forest. This juxtaposition of the natural and the manmade also reflects our progress in living on this land, and the care and the acknowledgement of our surroundings.
The thought of time travelling has always interested me, back to an era of our history where deceisions made then still affect us today, is a rich theme to visit and draw stories from. Mark Wooller May 2010
