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.

Supermarket Sex Filth Pt 1
c. Michael St.Mark 2008

Set of three images, ( click-through enlargeable for discretion ), illustrating the depraved depths to which our large retailers are stooping, to tap in to the subconscious of the many secretly frustrated housewives cramming the isles with overflowing shopping trolleys, and using food as a substitute for good old fashioned marathon sex sessions with the eye candy down the road.

The London Dadaists say this disgusting filth needs to be stamped out before it spreads to the canned fish shelves.
