Mark Bennett is an Illustrator, Composer, Instrumental Improvisor and College Lecturer. He does all hand drawn illustrations. His work shows the true horrors of world war one. His work shows still drawings of descriptions from poems from world war one like Wilfred Owen.
I love this drawing as it shows emotion and horror. The top drawing really captures the devastation that war cased, the image really capture the fear and panic war caused. The image really portrays the soldiers of world war one. I think this image shows the true sight of world war one, the images looks to show clips of a sequin of events that a soldier would have gone through in the world war. The image shows enemies in a demonic and frightening way indicating that this was a matter of life and death. The enemies in the tunnel looks like the grim reaper or devilish, the figure could represent death implying that death is at the end of the tunnel not light.
I noticed that in most or Mark Bennetts work he draws a sequin of event for most of his images. This helps tell a story through his work, it also helps to visually see the soldiers expression and see there fear to really get to understand how war really was and to see the true horror of the war.
For mark Bennett’s work he gained inspiration from Wilfred Owens poems, his main inspiration came from Dulce et decorum est. Mark Bennett said in an interview with me“ Majority of my images are black and white for a photographic look”. This signifies that he wanted his work to be as realistic as they could be, so that they could look like a photograph like they are real life. Mark Bennett is definitely worth checking out if you love in depth illustrative work
