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.

London Dada Work 227; Orchestra of Light


Orchestra of Light
c. 2006 Michael St.Mark

Deep in silent sunset forest
nothing stirs, until

a sudden cool breeze plays

white noise of infinite harmonies
amongst light of infinite variety.

The God Overture
in a cathedral of pines

One year on….

Once upon a seabed
many millions of sun orbits ago
sand got
squeezedintostone,
and an inch a year got
lifted 2000 feet, got
worn into sand
once more.

Now high on a Welsh mountain top
forming the shore of a hearty pool where
Sheep take a dip and a sip, their
eager hoof prints stamped upon

A two thousand feet beach
