Mark Demsteader 2015

Exhibition E-Catalogue

Mark’s journey to being one of Britain’s leading figurative painters was far from conventional. His formative years were spent amidst the sights and sounds of Manchester’s Meat Market at his father’s family butchery and meat packing business. Absorbed in the noise, smells and sheer physicality of this environment, young Mark learnt more about the structure of sinew, bone and flesh, albeit livestock not human, than in any subsequent life drawing class. As a teenager, passionate about pursuing an artistic career, Mark completed two foundation courses, at Oldham and Rochdale colleges of art. However in the 1980sconceptual art dominated the main- stream market and there were slim pickings for a young determinedly figurative painter in Manchester. Forced back to the wholesale butchery, Mark continued to attend life classes religiously throughout the next decade. In the early 1990s the family business fell to the recession and Mark was spurred on to find a commercial outlet for his work. A short course at the Slade gave him an opportunity to tour the London galleries with his portfolio but with Brit Art in the ascendency, he found good drawing very much out of favour. Luckily a local gallery had the foresight to offer him space in a mixed show and he sold six works at the opening. His subsequent rise in the art world is gratifying to those of us who admire that increasingly rare talent of good draughtsmanship. He has an annual solo exhibition with Panter &Hall and is a principal artist at every art fair we attend. His international reputation is flourishing and he is represented by a leading art dealer in Japan.
