Mark Halsey was born in Hull in 1961.

With an extensive list of Exhibitions and Solo Shows to date, including London, Dublin, New York, Munich, and Edinburgh, Mark Halsey's paintings are reaching serious private and corporate collections.

Always referring to the human form,  Mark Halsey reaches beyond the boundaries of literal art.    A strong use of light and colour is used to enhance a powerful physical presence. It is the mood of the painting and the emotions aroused that are of paramount importance to him.

"Spontaneous splashes of paint and earthy hues throw celestial light across a fusion of the figure and landscape." Mark Halsey
