About Michael St.Mark

Conceptual / experimental multi-discipline artist, writer and photographer. Art influencer and founder of London Dada, recalling Dada's original aims and principles as envisaged by it's founder Hugo Ball. Eschews the often politically-motivated taboo on expressions of critical thought within art. Admiring Duchamp in going beyond the seemingly endless infatuation with the ' pretty picture' retinal and instead refusing to accept the standards and practices of an established corrupt art world and creatively stifling conventions that are still considered essential to attain fame and financial success: refusing to repeat himself or to develop one recognizable style to placate the commercial needs of the market.

Turner’s famous self-portrait post  MaxPixel  TM  image manipulation composite portrait sequence.
As opposed to Dark Pixel, the resultant image retains a positive albeit almost Cezanne
or Cubist-like recognition as deriving from the original, whilst at the same time breaking
down into the severest of pixelation and delightful intricacy of minute patterns and color.
