Mark Hannon

I’ve been very fortunate to have been involved in Art throughout my life... from roots in creating primary school comics, secondary school influences from my art teacher father, through to an Honours degree in Scientific and Technical Graphics. My professional life has been spent shared between broadcast TV graphics, painting and commercial illustration.

I have had paintings of mine exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition, Mall Galleries, London. (2022 & 2021)

My style of work and list of clients are as varied as my subject matter and chosen media...ranging from acrylics, watercolour, charcoal, and pen and ink. That may explain my love of variety in my work.
I have interest in politics and current affairs and enjoy the possibilities of blending art with humour to encapsulate a concept in some quirky way.

With an illustration and graphics background, my influences are from artists such as Magritte, Saul Bass, Picasso, Grant Wood, Hockney, Edward Hopper and Edward Ardizzone. Born in the South West of England, I’m blessed with stunning scenery in all directions…Devonshire moors, Cornish ruggedness, Dorset cliffs, quaint fishing ports etc. So landscapes feature often across my work.
