Mark Titchner and Richard Woods studio visits

Mark Tichner is a British, London-based artist, nominated for the Turner Prize in 2006. He describes his art as ‘a dialogue about how you receive thought and ideas’ and his work investigates communication and perception. He works across a range of media, including light-boxes, animated projections, installations, runic panels and films on monitors.

Drawing on advertising slogans, self-help mantras and political manifestos, Titchner presents conflicting ideologies and outmoded ideas without mockery or cynicism, allowing the viewer to form their own conclusions. In so doing, his work questions both our blind faith in science and our obedience to authority.

Richard Woods is well-known for his all encompassing installations of hand-printed wood-cut floors and elevations, which have been presented in a variety of contexts, from British stately homes to a Venetian courtyard, from public buildings or private apartments to international boutique stores.

In his work, Woods explores the relationship between ‘functionality’ and ‘decoration’, with motifs varying from simple, repetitive red brick work to intricate floral designs, or pastiches of historical styles and artistic movements.
