| MARK CORETH |
Born in 1958 in London, Mark lived on the family farm in Kenya until 1971 when he returned to the UK to attend Ampleforth College. He then went to Sandhurst Military Academy and was commissioned into the Blues and Royals and served all over the world from 1979–1993. In 1986 he was commissioned to sculpt and cast in silver 'Belisarius', the regiment's drum horse for the Warrant Officer's Mess. A second cast, in bronze, was the Household Cavalry's wedding gift to The Duke and Duchess of York. He left the army in 1993 to become a full-time sculptor.
Coreth’s first one-man exhibition was at the Sladmore Gallery, London in 1986 with subsequent ones in 1990 entitled ‘Glimpse of Africa’ and in 1992 called ‘Power and Motion’. In 1993 he had a one-man show at Galerie La Cymaise in Paris and took part in Zoo Sculpt 93. From 1995 onwards he has continued to show at the Sladmore and in America.
Mark has undertaken numerous private commissions. In January 2005 he travelled to Ladakh to study Snow Leopards in the wild and was fortunate in seeing one, thereby fulfilling his ambition to make a maquette in the field.
