Mark Francis is a photography and drawing-based artist located in Vancouver, B.C. and Toronto, Ontario. His approach to art-making stems from an affinity for the existential discourse surrounding the subjective experience. This interest, combined with an aesthetic that includes architectural spaces, uncanny bodies and pan-psychic imagery culminates in an eclectic graphical synthesis combining drawing, photography and mixed media. Current trends in Mark's work are leaning towards abstracted narrative in time-based media as well as architectural and design based explorations.
Mark earned his BFA in visual arts from York University in 2010, and is studying towards a Master of Architecture at the University of British Columbia. He has had numerous exhibitions in Toronto and around Ontario at galleries such as: Gallery 1313, the Gales Gallery (York University), Eleanor Winters Gallery, The Sleeping Giant, Paul Petro Special Projects, the William's Mill Studios, Alternate Grounds, the Halton Hills Civic Centre and the Goldfarb Special Projects Gallery. Published reviews have been featured in Broken Pencil Magazine, Now Magazine and the Toronto Star.
