‘A Christmas in Paris’ Show

07 – 31 December 2011

Mark Hanham is a talented, successful young artist, who has decided to go against the grain and establish his own gallery in the heart of Crown Street, Surry Hills, Sydney. Mark’s style – large, brash, pop, beautiful – takes drip painting and sensual curves to a new level.

Mark Hanham has positioned himself as a true Sydney artist. Born and bred in Paddington, Sydney, his first passion is to evoke the sensual curves of the geography of this city’s amazing Harbour and architecture.

Coupled with his uncanny sensitivity to the zeitgeist and his innate appreciation of a city and its architecture, Mark’s European paintings – Paris, Vienna, Stockholm and London to date, as well as New York and Hollywood, evoke the mood of these cities in a way few artists can. Sydney siders collect Mark’s Sydney Harbour paintings along with expats who order and ship his paintings to far off shores, in order to relive the sunny Sydney skies and voluptuous sweeps of the harbour and its views.

The much anticipated Parisian Show opened on the 8th of December and runs until the 31th of December

After many creative months overseas, Mark has finally returned to Aussie soil. Painting & gathering inspiration in Europe’s most beautiful cities, there will be some stunning paintings in the wings… Beautiful Parisian works which have travelled around the world get here, painted while Mark resided in Montmartre. Simplicity & Sophistication, with subtle allusions to the fauves, it’s a show you don’t want to miss!
