Artist of the day, July 17: Mark Titchner, British graphic designer, typographer.

Mark Titchner (1973) is an English artist, and 2006 nominee for the Turner Prize. He graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, in 1995. He was nominated for the Turner Prize for a solo show at the Arnolfini, Bristol, in which he displayed the sculptural installation "How To Change Behaviour (Tiny Masters Of The World Come Out)". The Tate Gallery described his work in the following manner:

... hybrid installations furthered his exploration into systems of belief. Working across a wide range of media, including light boxes and extraordinary hand-carved contraptions, his work continues to interweave a vast array of references from heavy metal lyrics to philosophy.

In 2007 he was included in the 52nd Venice Biennale exhibiting in Ukraine's Pavilion, A Poem about an Inland Sea. A solo exhibition Run, Black River, Run followed at BALTIC, Gateshead early in 2008. In 2003, he had a solo show Be Angry but Don't Stop Breathing as part of the Art Now series at Tate Britain.

In 2011, he had a solo show "Be True to Your Oblivion" at The New Art Gallery Walsall. This exhibition formed part of Capsule's Home of Metal project, a huge cultural project to establish Birmingham and the Black Country as the home of heavy metal. He was the Art Gallery of Ontario's Artist-in-Residence from September to October 2012.

His work is held in the permanent collections of the South London Gallery, the United Kingdom Government Art Collection and the Tate Gallery

Mr Mark Titchner

And now what do you want?

And now what do you want?

And now what do you want?

And now what do you want?

Another world is possible

Be Angry But Don’t Stop Breathing

Be Angry But Don’t Stop Breathing

Chemistry Makes Me Smile

Dream after dream after dream

Ends thou

Ends thou

Ends thou

Ergo ergot

Ergo ergot

Ergo ergot

Ergo ergot

Everything is real there is no audience

If you can dream it you must do it

If you can dream it you must do it

If you can dream it you must do it

If you can dream it you must do it

Improving the world means improving me

Improving the world means improving me

In eternity all eyes are open

In eternity all eyes are open

Live the life that you imagine

Live the life that you imagine

Live the life that you imagine

Love flags

Love flags

No ends

More Joy now







Study for Sceaux Gardens

Natures bounds

Natures bounds

No them only us

Our knot



Please believe these days will pass

Please believe these days will pass

Possible

Possible

Provocation

Questions

Listen

So much noise to make a silence

The eye don’t see itself

The world isn’t working

The world isn’t working



Why is there something instead of nothing?

Why Not Now?

Why Not Now?

You are not ...
