Mark Edward Hanham

Mark is known for his large scale, brash works and takes the viewer on a journey of discovery into his own world. A contemporary realistic action painter, he is influenced and inspired by American modernist painter Jackson Pollock's dripping of paint, Picasso's linear soft forms and his love for travel.

Mark often visually narrates daily life allowing the collector to be immediately transported to those international grand cities when connecting with his work. Mark is especially known for his large scale streetscapes and iconic well known city overviews.

Mark Hanham's celebrity collectors include Russell Crowe, Lionel Richie, Mark Taylor CEO TAYLOR, Atlassian Corp PLC's Sydney Scott Farquhar & Kim Jackson, Chief Winemaker Lisa McGuigan, Lisa McGuigan Wines, Australian cricket player & former captain Shane Watson & his wife, TV celebrity Lee Watson & many corporate and large private collections Australia and worldwide.

Hanham's universal themes appeal to new collectors and seasoned connoisseurs as well as the enthusiastic or nostalgic traveler.

His bold expressive landscapes of iconic urban centres – Sydney, London, Paris, NYC, Venice, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Melbourne - are unique. Hanham's point of difference is scale and energy but all counterpoised with romanticism and a commentary on the human condition
