Dr Marc Yeats is a painter, composer, practice researcher, writer, and poet.
His work as a painter and composer is closely linked to techniques developed over many years, with compositions influencing new approaches to painting and techniques in painting influencing musical development. Although interested in surfaces represented in sound, colour, form, and texture, his work is further influenced by a fascination with layering, geology, erosion, landscapes, and place-specific resonance and how this may manifest and be embodied. Understanding, strengthening, and researching this self-referential relationship remains his lifelong challenge and passion.
Yeats works in oils, acrylics, and mixed media on paper and board. Based in Somerset, England, he paints land & seascapes around Suffolk, Norfolk, Dorset, and the chalk downland of southern England.
In addition to his visual work, Yeats is a highly regarded contemporary composer. His music has been performed by prestigious ensembles, including the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Hallé Orchestra, with broadcasts on BBC Radio 3.
Yeats is also a published writer, with books from Vision Edition discussing his artistic practice and music composition. His most recent literary endeavour is a collection of over 230 poems that explore his life as an artist and his relationship to painting and composition.
