Marcus Hotblack

Art has always been a  happy place for Marcus, at school in the UK from painting backdrops for school plays to collecting the art prize.This led to a masters degree in Design at Central St Martins London and a career designing interiors for major car companies globally and working for Ford Australia for 13 years,more recently for Tata in India where he found time to paint again.

  Persuing his passion for painting figurative art, he now works from his Newstead garden studio in watercolour, Oil and acrylic. He is inspired by the local landscapes in central victoria, the garden, still life, classic motorcycles, in short, he is inspired by varied and eclectic subjects.Whatever the subject either in Oil or watercolour his unique style shines through With a mix of loose painterly brushstrokes and controlled realism.
