Signed

For the last ten years he has been pupil and painting partner to Anthony Eyton OBE, RA. Mark worked with Antony on the Hawksmoor churches series of paintings of which this painting of St George’s in East is one. In 2015, following in the footsteps of John Piper, he shared an artist in residency at Stowe. For seven years he worked with Eyton on a series of paintings leading up to the centenary of the school in May 2023. They also completed paintings of Canford, a sister school to Stowe. The centenaries of these two schools coincided with Anthony’s 100th birthday. A permanent collection of Eyton and Flawn-Thomas’s works are on display in the newly created Eyton Gallery at Stowe near Buckingham.

Mark is probably best known for his distinctive blue pen and ink watercolour paintings but since his collaboration with Anthony Eyton he mainly paints in oil or pastel. His watercolour paintings of the work of the great choreographer Adam Darius were exhibited as a backdrop to a Darius masterclass at The Royal Ballet in Covent Garden in 2016.

He had his first one-man show in 2014 in Studio 73 in Brixton Village. Mark has a permanent exhibition of his work in Brockwell Hall, Herne Hill SE24 and was shortlisted for the Brixton Art prize. He had a joint exhibition with Anthony Eyton RA in the Marble Saloon at Stowe, in May 2018 and a further joint exhibition with him at the Cello Factory, Waterloo, London, in June 2018. One-man show at Copper Beech Café, Dulwich, London, October 2019.

He has exhibited several times at the Royal Academy and is currently artist in residence at James Allen Girls School, Dulwich, London.
