Mark Houghton’s practice highlights overlooked aspects of the everyday, isolating and representing aspects of the urban environment, forging a visual poetry of the commonplace; elevating the irrelevance of the ordinary, whilst attempting to decode and decipher the complexity of the environments we inherit and inhabit. All the works are deliberately open-ended and are intended to be completed by the viewer, as they bring their own memories and experiences to the interpretative process.
Born in Warrington, Mark gained his first degree at Middlesex University (formerly the Hornsey School of Art) and subsequently at the Cardiff Metropolitan University (MA Fine Art), at the Cardiff School of Art & Design. Has teaches Fine Art at both Post Graduate and Graduate level.
