Marcus Hodge is known for his portraits, horses and landscapes. His work is united by his painterly style which owes much to a rigorous five years of training in the old master techniques in Spain. His pictures are therefore classical with a contemporary twist. On returning to Britain in 1996, he was featured within a year as one of the “A” list of Portrait Painters by Harpers and Queen and has remained in constant demand ever since.

Marcus' latest solo show opens on 1st November at Fine Art Commissions in Bury Street and ranges from the sculptural west coast and highlands of Scotland to the heat and dust of Rajasthan.

"So off into the wilderness Marcus goes, loaded with small boards and panels on which to register, and with a most remarkable freedom and spontaneity, whatever takes his eye. Yet far more than mere studies for larger works, these small paintings are themselves properly resolved within their own terms, and as impressive as anything he does."
