Mark Rein is an artist who explores various themes and styles, including landscapes, portraits, abstract, and street-inspired works. He finds inspiration in everyday moments, transforming the ordinary into something “extraordinarily ordinary”.
His work blends realism with bold, expressive abstraction, often featuring vibrant colours and dynamic techniques.
Drawing inspiration from both classical and modern influences, his work blends realism with abstract elements. Using a variety of approaches, Mark may build up layers of paint for texture and depth, or simply apply thin layers for a softer, more delicate effect.
From still life and landscapes to urban-inspired scenes, a mix of vivid colours and textured surfaces often incorporating contemporary techniques to add a fresh, street-art-inspired touch, can be found across his body of work.
At times up-cycling thrift shop frames, Mark repurposes them as part of new artwork, adding a unique and personal touch to each piece.
