About the Item
Mark Hilltout has always been drawn to the random, the discarded and the broken. He is attracted to the broken edge, not the perfectly straight line. For the past two years he has been creating a series of public art pieces in Cape Town's underpasses, with the intent of highlighting and celebrating the flawed and weathered nature of the concrete backgrounds onto which these geometric pieces are painted. For each different public art piece, a single painting was done to commemorate the public piece and eternalizing it by bringing a piece of it onto canvas and into your house, while the exterior artwork will eventually slowly weather away with time.

Mark Hilltout
Mark is a restless soul. He was born in 1948 to a middle-class family, ultimately graduating from Birmingham Art College. He has lived in Johannesburg, Hong Kong, Toronto, New York, Brussels and Madagascar where he learned to sew metal. He has driven through Africa, twice. In between he has also run a hotel in Seychelles and advertising agencies on four continents. When back in Cape Town, he designed and funded two photographic books, both on football in Africa. He has hand-drawn a comprehensive map and guidebook to Woodstock, Cape Town. Mark has been an artist all his life, except he was always called an art director. There is no single turning point that led Mark to do what he does now, but he has always been drawn to the discarded, the imperfect. He is fascinated by car dumps and has long been a collector of enamel commercial signs. Above all, he loves corrugated iron, for all its ancient blemishes and weather-beaten scars. He tolerates computers, but he prefers the happy accidents that can only occur by hand. He believes that true beauty comes from the close attention to craft, not the obsession with ideas. He now lives in Woodstock, Cape Town, South Africa.
