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.

This Green & Pleasant Land IX
Michael St.Mark 2017

Enjoying a picnic in the idyllic verdant environs of Welwyn Herts on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend – with only the minor distraction of skull-jarring East Coast Mainline trains zapping past like cheese graters on the ear drums every 10 minutes, about 50ft away.

Latest in the prolific long-running series highlighting the ongoing inexorable terraforming of England into a standing-room-only steel, glass, concrete and tarmac paradise

Work No. 967; Nobody Mourns a Fish II

.. which is true when you come to think about it, the human compassion line (ptp) stops at fish,  the next species up the evolutionary ladder however – birds – need a RS for the P of.
The fish monger looks happy enough, though being “responsibly sourced” doesn’t appear to have cheered up the big salmon very much..

St.Albans, Herts

Second in the series; title after Nobody Mourns a Fish (c) Miss Von Trapp 2012
