Mark McFadden is an Irish artist, living on the Cote d'Azur, and working in Monaco. The desire to paint has been present for most of his life, an unrequited love, which spanned decades. Once he finally pursued what was true to his heart, McFadden's art developed quickly with a distinctive and unique style.
A relative newcomer to the art word, he has worked prolifically, producing many works, several of which have found their ways into prominent private collections. Most recently, his pieces have caught the attention of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco who purchased a portrait of James Joyce.
McFadden hasn't been classical trained. As a result, his work has not been influenced by the various schools of modern art and therefore remains quite pure. There is an innocent quality, yet, with a most interesting depth and emotional mystery. There is great passion to be seen and felt in his work.
His works are oil on large canvas using only a palette knife, which provides a rich texture, adding to the intensity one feels when looking at his work.
His art speaks volumes. He is most definitely a name to watch out for.
