Máo Mao, 2019

One of the foremost pencil artists in the country, he works from his gallery and studio in St Ives, Cornwall, and works tirelessly to create hyper-realistic portraits of the rich, famous and interesting.

Using just a pencil, paper and eraser, his work goes beyond the detail even a camera can capture and is sold across the globe, hanging on walls as far afield as Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the USA.
