    Mark Hayward’s work explores physical motion. Whether through animation or drawing, it’s ‘actions’ that interest him and how they adapt and respond to one another to create movement and narratives.

    Acts of war and aggression feature recurrently in Hayward’s work, and individual actions naturally expand into group activity; as groups mobilise, individual characters seem to find themselves not just under the control of the groups that they move in but also of the actions that they partake in, actions that Hayward subjects them to.

    Hayward was born in Portsmouth in 1979. He graduated from UCA Canterbury, Kent, where he received a BA in Fine Art in 2007 and then went on to complete an MA in Fine Art Printmaking at the Royal College of Art, London, were he received the Tim and Belinda Mara Award.

    In 2009 his work was selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize, which will be opening in London September 2009 and touring the UK until April 2010. He has shown his work in a number of exhibitions including

    Show One, at the Royal College of Art,

    The London Original Print Fair at the Royal Academy of Arts, and New Cross Project Space, London. He currently lives in Ken
