Mark Titchner (born 1973) is an English artist and a nominee for the 2006 Turner Prize.[1] He lives and works in London.

Mark Titchner was born in Luton. He graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, in 1995.

He was nominated for the Turner Prize for a solo show at the Arnolfini, Bristol. The Tate Gallery described his work, "hybrid installations furthered his exploration into systems of belief. Working across a wide range of media, including light boxes and extraordinary hand-carved contraptions, his work continues to interweave a vast array of references from pop lyrics to philosophy."

In 2003 he had a solo show Be Angry but Don't Stop Breathing as part of the Art Now series at Tate Britain.[2]

His work is held in the permanent collections of the South London Gallery[3], the United Kingdom Government Art Collection[4] and the Tate.[5]
