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.

Re-posted Oct 2016

“Out-of-focus image, capturing an essence of alcoholic inebriation within a traditional working class public house whilst the absence of detailed facial features of the subject, somewhat conversely, poses boundless possibilities to the viewer”

Work 162; INFINITUDE II

INF1a
Infinitude II
c. Michael St.Mark 2006.

Wood relief and acrylic
60cm X 85cm

London Dada’s Infinitude series explodes the traditional relief art form, to re-invent it in terms of uniformity and simplicity and reflecting potentially infinite combinations of line, form and color, depending upon the ambient lighting environment.

Infinitude II – always the same, always different.
