Mark Maggiori (born June 16, 1977) is a French-American painter, graphic designer, draftsman, musician, music video director and lead vocalist of the nu metal band Pleymo.
[2][3] From 1997 to 2007, Maggiori served as the lead vocalist, graphic designer, and music video director for his band, Pleymo.
[7][8] Maggiori has been noted in particular for the way he paints clouds in his landscape scenes, with Christopher Barker describing them as, "layered, textural monuments that both dwarf and magnify the subject with impossible detail.
[3] Maggiori's style and technique has drawn comparisons to Western artists Frederic Remington and Frank Tenney Johnson.
[2] Gallery owner Beau Alexander has noted that Maggiori's paintings are unique[12] because of his outside perspective, having not grown up in the culture of the West and that "[He] goes to great lengths to have the cowboys depicted accurately...he will use colors and techniques learned in his photo and film days to create a more dramatic scene.
