Relationship between Painting and Cinema
Cinema and painting have always been in a close relationship, but some artists felt such passion for painting that they had to incorporate some of their favorite 'framed' moments into films with such precision that a person couldn’t help but wonder if there is a difference at all. Mark N Tompkins is a Canadian film and theater painter, or also known as a scenic artist, who equally loves painting and cinema, and has a perfect eye for details. Throughout his career, he has worked on many design sets and on a number of movies sets as an on-set painter. He’s born in Vancouver, British Columbia and studied at Capilano University in Vancouver in the animation program. This served him as a great opportunity to learn more about art and cinema.
