Bio
Mark Dimock is an innovative contemporary New Zealand artist who creates abstract modern art paintings in brushed aluminium, copper, and brass inlaid in hardwood or over steel. He has also created standing steel artwork, sculptures depicting sea creatures and human figures displayed around everyday objects. Some of Mark's pieces are especially designed to function as outdoor wall art, to hang beside garden patios or decks.
Mark is known for upcycling, using recycled timber in his geometric modern art paintings and objects such as clocks and hammers in his sculpture. His style and practice are governed by the search for original imagery and a highly technical approach. Early influences were cubists such as George Braque, Pablo Picasso and Juan Gris.
Mark has been living and working in Eketahuna since 1980 where he has established a large studio workshop and gallery. He has had over 40 solo exhibitions in galleries throughout New Zealand including Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Palmerston North, Whangarei, and Masterton, and has been part of many group shows.
