Mark Enstone

Mark Enstone’s past career as a fashion photographer has informed the subject of his paintings where he explores intimacy, ambiguity, and appropriation. Instead of capturing the perfect shot from behind the camera, his paintings focus on the moments outside the backdrop, behind the scenes. He shares, “I thought these were simply paintings about fashion shoots, where strangers gather briefly but intensely. For half my life, they were my world. However, I can also see they revolve around witnessing the facility of women to bond easily and share intimacy; qualities largely absent from male society.” Mark currently resides in Newark on Trent, UK.
