Artist Statement:
Mark O’Connell is a Toronto
based painter, his work is an
exploration of the figure
within an urban landscape and
urban landscapes themselves.
The inspiration for the
paintings comes from
photographs the artist takes
in NYC and Toronto. The work
examines what it means to be a
resident of a large post
millennial city, and the
quality of life lived there.
The exploration focuses on
three key areas: 1. Figure in
environment: the interaction
of city dwellers with each
other, the vehicles around
them and the city itself.
Alienation and assimilation of
the individual. 2. Colours of
the city: unusual
juxtapositions that occur
spontaneously in the ever
shifting landscape of a city.
3. Urban light: the quality of
light within the city, shaped
and obstructed by the
artificial constraints of tall
buildings and the reflective
surfaces of glass and various
metals.
Mark is a graduate of the
Ontario College of Art and
Design and currently teaches
Design and Composition at Max
the Mutt College of Animation
in Toronto, Canada.
