Mark Gray
Art has been a lifelong passion. I had my first paid commission at the age of 11. I ultimately become Creative Director within top listed agencies over the course of the following years. In one role, I won a major – and award-winning – account for BT, and also a nationwide interior design mandate for Ford Motor Company. Later, I formed a niche agency working for some leading brands including Ford, BT, NBA, T-Mobile, Bang & Olufsen, Dell, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Arsenal FC, Puffa, Gola, The Prodigy, Greene King, Sainsbury’s and others, covering advertising, internet, TV & environments.
I made the decision to refocus on my personal art around 2006, having started that transition in 2001, when I collaborated with Liam from the Prodigy on a range of art-related subjects. I have created commission-based works for families or individuals of high wealth globally, experimenting with materials and processes. Many incorporated certain items of that person’s personal possessions or mementos in the piece. For some works, I resurrected long-forgotten processes for working with certain materials which I believe secured many commissions.
I'm currently working between Poland and the UK. I have recently closed my first solo exhibition at the ‘Rabbithole Artrooms Gallery’ right in the heart of Warsaw which received much coverage in the Polish press and TV.
In short, I’m an experienced & driven creative, strategist, conceptual thinker, people motivator & artist. I have strong strategic & creative ability. I love to surprise even the most demanding of client.
