For his first solo show at NancyVictor, Mark Hayward will be showing existing works including animations, screen prints
and paintings alongside new works.
Through painting, animation and
print Mark explores themes of identity and the individual using his
faceless comic characters to construct fantasies that are at once both strange
and familiar. With a sense of the documentary his on going body of work builds
into a catalogue of characters and comic situations that heavily reference the
world around him. Within this basic framework there are themes that Mark
returns to, feeling drawn to the military, childhood, national pride and
uniform, all of which give a strong visual identity for the artist to play
with. His latest paintings are inspired by the Queen's Jubilee celebrations and
the ongoing Falkland Islands dispute.
Private View: Thursday 9th August 6 - 8pm
Show: Friday 10th - 31st August 2012
