British artist Lawson Bell responds to objects, natural or man-made, that he finds.
He imagines them as something else, in effect ‘re-imaging their reality’. It’s often the passage of time, and the natural forces creating a decay, that have allowed them to slip into this new state of being.
He will often write a story to accompany the work.

Far from water, no reflection or confident spring, just mud
between my toes,In my head, the sea’s over the hill, so that way I’ll go.
Born in 1969, Mark grew up in rural Cornwall.
A childhood naturalist, Mark spent his formative years inthe woods that surrounded the family home. His tiny bedroom was a trove oftanks of the living, bottles and jars of the dead and dissected owl pelletsfrom the barn.
At 16, bored of preserving and pickling, Bell picked up acamera.
At 18 he travelled to London to chase the dream of aphotographer.
After a few years, with an agent and work published in Blitzand Vogue, he fell in love with sculpture, making pieces from found objectsprocured from the streets and skips of Hackney. Commissions came fromindividuals such as Alan Ayckbourn and institutions including The RoyalNational Theatre. Mark exhibited at the ICA and he created an installation atEARTH, Art of a changing world at The Royal Academy.
His career morphed to become a Creative Director. He went onto found two design agencies, Warm Rain and latterly Mark Lawson Bell Studio, underthe moniker of Plinth Creative. Their client lists citing some of the world’stop brands, from ABSOLUT, to Veuve Clicquot. They won a design award for aPringle of Scotland interior, and featured in many design books. He was theArtistic Director of ‘sketch’ in London. By all accounts the most creativecollection of restaurants and bars under one roof in Mayfair
He is now concentrating on his own work again.
