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.

Work No. 179; And we Call this Living

A Moto Landscape
c. 2006 Michael St.Mark
.
As you stand stock still
On all Michelin fours
Becalmed by bunching
(Or driving at twenty’s
apparently plenty)

You breathe ( is that the word )
In-car “fresh air vent” exhaust
Coughed from the veh in front.

And as you devour yet another chemical crisp
Washed down with a slug of diet sludge
You contemplate amongst the cones . . .

This, we call living…
