An international multimedia artist specializing in the painting of conceptual pop art, Mark Mitchell draws on the power of mass media and pop culture, re-purposing contemporary icons, imagery, and techniques to create a personal artistic statement, rich in meaning and social commentary. With a career as a creative director in advertising, this cutting edge artist learned how to put concept first and manipulate imagery to surprise, provoke, and reward the viewer. Mark Mitchell has become a familiar figure in the contemporary art world, with recognition of his work from New York’s ARTSLANT, where he twice received the Showcase Award, to SCOPE and SELECT FAIR during ART BASEL MIAMI and SEE | ME Exhibit Space NYC during Armory Arts Week. A favorite in the Tampa Bay area, he promises to mount an exhibition filled with surprises that will capture, engage, and satisfy both the mind and the soul.
