Biography
A multi-award winning professional sculptor, Mark Revels has enjoyed high-profile projects with the BBC, Channel 4 and London’s West End theatre companies. He has exhibited nationally & internationally. He gained a First Class BA Honours degree from London’s Wimbledon College of Art in 2001. His work draws upon the natural world. The intricate structures and patterns within the work are influenced by, and are a culmination of natural and manmade shapes and forms. These are taken from our very own constructed and manufactured environments. Mark Revels’ work is a comment on life and how the designs from nature can be adapted and constructed to fit into societal models which are used to contain, gag and control those who are captivated and dazzled by its beauty and design.
