Mark Dickson
Born: 1946 Boulder, Colorado
Education: University of Denver, School of Fine Art, MFA, 1972.
Platt Institute, Graduate School of Fine Arts, 1969-70.
Metropolitan State College, Denver, Colorado, BA., 1969.
Mark Dickson, a fifth generation Coloradoan, has been working as an artist in the Denver area for more than 30 years and has earned a significant reputation as both a painter and a printmaker. His paintings, which are large format color-field works on canvas, are abstract and reflect the artist's reductionist approach to art. He strives to refine the content presented and reduce the composition to the most essential of elements rendering it in beautiful yet unsentimental color. The resulting paintings are evocative of the joy of the creative process and urge the viewers to participate on a visceral rather than intellectual level.
Mark Dickson began his studies at Metropolitan State College, Denver, Colorado and received his Bachelor Degree in Art and Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He received his M.F.A. from the University of Denver. He taught Art for ten years, and was the artist in residence at St. Thomas Theological Seminary in Denver from 1971 to 1975. Late in 1979 he made a full-time commitment to his personal career in art.
Mark Dickson has always been interested in art. He feels fortunate for having received strong influences in college. He feels that his professors taught him the value of art, and that the kind of educational tools that were provided to him are not readily available to art students today.
The majority medium is pastel and a mixed media of watercolors, oil washes, and graphite pencil. Color is of primary importance to his work. His work shows the influence of artists Milton Avery(who used large areas of color) and Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb (known for their work in the variations of color). Mark is fascinated with color and explores every aspect of its relationships. He feels his use of color is more intuitive versus analytical. less
