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.

A Greek Tragedy
  Michael St.Mark 2014

There is something in the Greek psyche that touches great depths of sadness and melancholia,
possibly
relating to a time-honoured culture that integrates deep analytical  thought with philosophical
study; leading to heroic personal attempts at resolution of many of life’s all too often intractable problems.
