'Work of the eyes is done, now go and do heart-work on all the images imprisoned within you.' - Rainer Maria Rilke

Marc McGavick’s artworks celebrate the power of mark-making. Working with oil pastels and charcoal, Marc crafts detailed compositions, with each stroke contributing to a beautiful unfolding narrative. Inspired by Renaissance art and the intricacies of Old Master paintings, his practice is a celebration of the tactile act of working by hand.
