Mark Hanham

Born 1978 in Paddington Sydney, Australian Mark Hanham studied a Bachelor's Degree at National Art School then completed a Master's Degree in Art at the College of Fine Art. He has painted every day since he was fourteen years of age and is an extraordinarily successful commercial artist. In 2011 at the age of 33, he took the almost unprecedented step of opening his own gallery in Sydney's busy Crown Street Surry Hills, exhibiting only MARK HANHAM ART. The gallery is entering its third year and has defied economic downturns to become one of the most successful galleries in Sydney. Mark this year will be exhibiting at the Art Fairs in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and most likely will gather other artists under his banner to travel to the fairs in New York and Singapore. Mark's clients include Russell Crowe, Lionel Richie, Walker Corporation, Lisa McGuigan and many corporate and private collections nationally and internationally. His bold expressive landscapes of iconic urban centres - PARIS, SYDNEY, NEW YORK, LONDON, VENICE, TOKYO, are unique and are total show stoppers. His point of difference is scale, splat, energy but all counterpoised with romanticism, hope and a commentary on the human condition.
