Mark Booker, Landscape Artist

As a landscape artist based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire I aim to capture the light and colours of the forever changing landscape that surrounds us. Be it urban or rural, I like to observe, to search, stylise, abstract, change, transform and refine to produce a finished piece, which I think captures the essence of the moment. The style of my work may vary from piece to piece, but collectively they show a vision of how I see this great landscape.

I am interested in how things look and change over time, be it minutes or years. The seasons change everything and no two days are the same. I especially like the intense light you get just before a thunder storm, especially during the summer months and the vibrant effects you see at dawn and sunset. I am also fascinated by the regeneration of the landscape. The ‘recycling’ of old, decaying and abandoned buildings such as mills, wharves, factories and farm buildings. The breathing of new life into something that has been left because it no longer serves its original purpose.
