Mark Corfield's
current practice is breaking new uncharted ground with
watercolours.
His practice is now based on the exploration of the inherently natural characteristics and properties of watercolours and it’s affinity to countryside and the environment.
Using a synthetic plastic paper, he allows the water and pigment, unhampered, to reveal their own properties and behaviour.
The relationship between him and these elements, create transcendent ethereal works that are connected to earth and the natural world. The pigment, paper and water being the elements that are the bridge between him and nature.

This is very much about the materials, watercolour paints and the painting process. Each piece is un-premeditated, made intuitively as a response to the physical process’ elements.

The relationship between him and these elements, create transcendent, ethereal works that are connected to earth and the natural world. The pigment, paper and water being the elements that are the bridge between him and nature.
His paintings only start to reveal their true mysteries when given more than a passing glance.
