About Mark Murton

Shape, Form, Colour: Living in a fishing community it is difficult to avoid blocks of vibrant colour. To an extent it dictates the way Mark Murton sees when he is exploring Brixham Harbour – particularly the deceptively simple graphic designs that adorn the day boats and trawlers.

As a result, he has found himself naturally draw to “shape, form and colour” in his photographs, and which are depicted in this exhibition.

“The enjoyment I get just from observing the effects of the low light of the sun are an end in itself.”

Mark Murton is a photographer with a passion for documenting the areas close to where he lives, finding those elements that create the distinctiveness of a place and using his photography as a form of visual storytelling to create that “sense of place”.
