MARK DICKENS
Mark is a British fine artist whose work can be found in the Royal collections of H.H Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and also private-public collections around the world, including the new Guggenheim Museum, Abu Dhabi, UAE. I have been the official artist for Formula 1 commissioned by Bernie Ecclestone and I have completed other large projects such as “Ferrari in Art” and “World Champions in Art” series of 32 paintings purchased by Sebastian Vettel. My mixed media artwork consists of layer upon layer of photography, paint, resin, fabric and gold leaf, integral to my work are handwritten quotes incorporated in the artwork along with images and ephemera.
