Mark Bertrand graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in
2002 with a BA Hons in Fine Art. On moving back home to Manchester
he joined the Vernon Mill Artist studio group, based in Portwood,
Stockport. After viewing a selection of his paintings during
Vernon Mill’s open studio weekend in October 2002, Comme
Ca Art offered Mark Bertrand a solo exhibition at the Slug
and Lettuce.
Using household paint, Mark creates bright, busy and colourful
paintings that he calls ‘Liquid Landscapes’. They
take on a life of their own, growing organically with each
application of colour. The colours merge into swirls metamorphosing
into one another, producing a complex series of images that
mutate into a multiplicity of forms.
Mark Bertrand’s fluid paintings explore the extremities
of scale between the microcosm of our inner space and the
outer spaces of our surrounding universe, which are both in
a constant state of flux, forever changing and in constant
movement over time.
Recent exhibitions include: The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield.
Breaking Spaces 1 & 2, Vernon Mill, Stockport, and Transmission
(Cultureshock in conjunction with the Commonwealth Games)
Zion Centre, Manchester.
