Mark Kaplan (Russian, b. 1950) is a contemporary neo-impressionist painter known for his bold use of colour and dynamic compositions. His background in set design has influenced his theatrical approach to painting, leading to dramatic works characterised by expressive brushwork and a Fauvist palette.

Kaplan’s work often features floral and cityscape themes, with vibrant reds, yellows, and deep blues creating a sense of movement and intensity. His signature style has earned him the nickname "sun painter," reflecting his use of light and colour to evoke warmth and emotion.

Kaplan's paintings have been widely exhibited in galleries and appear frequently at international art auctions. His work is collected by private and corporate buyers alike, solidifying his place in the contemporary art market.
