āTitchner describes his art as āa dialogue about how you receive thought and ideasā. His works investigate communication and perception. Found text is a constant ingredient. Messages scavenged from song lyrics, corporate creeds, philosophical treatises and political manifestos have been physically described and digitally scripted into the works.ā

Some of the key features of his work include:
Multilayered, geometric patterns
Found or reappropriated text
Community - the posters are in public spaces where they are accessible to everyone, and are created in conjunction with community groups who may not otherwise have a voice
Residency at Art Gallery of Ontario:
https://ago.ca/artist-in-residence/mark-titchner
āThroughout his residency in Toronto, U.K. artist Mark Titchner developed a series of billboards, posters and large-scale wall-drawings that were installed throughout the city and in the AGO's Community and Toronto Now galleries. Drawing on his exploration of themes related to consumption, belief systems and marketing techniques, Titchner's immersive wall drawings and paintings consider how text and bold statements can be used to inspire, communicate to the masses and to bring communities of people together. The artworks produced throughout his residency were developed and executed in conjunction with youth from Oasis Skateboard Factory and the AGO Youth Council.ā
āHis works often confront the viewer with a proposition for a type of modern revolution.ā
Review of 2014 exhibition at CGP London:
https://www.aestheticamagazine.com/review-mark-titchner-cgp-london/
āWhat appear to be simple, decorative statements soon reveal themselves as masterful explorations of the subtle nuances of language. Titchner had an epiphany by including text in an early painting and noting how just a few words inflected the entire image.
Since then, his work has developed a fascination with the power of text.ā
