About

Born in Cornwall, Mark Wade moved to London in the late 1980's where a love affair and fascination with London and in particular, Soho was born, and now heavily influences his work. Mark paints contemporary scenes of London and Soho, but with a nostalgia of another era. His direct observational style creates artworks that convey a certain melancholy combined with a loneliness that, despite being in a city, surrounded by other people, a person can still feel isolated and alone. Mark's work has been described as how Edward Hopper would've painted had he lived in Soho. ———————————————

Mark's work has been exhibited at The Saatchi Gallery, The Royal Albert Hall, The Savoy Hotel and The Barbican, as well as various public venues around London, and in private collections all over the world.———————————————Commissions
