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.

Last Light ( for Margo )
© Michael St.Mark 2017

A glancing ray of sunset penetrates the trees and fires the forest floor – for a minute. Then, like a flighty transatlantic lover, like a close precious one who dies; gone forever.
Lost, like tears in the rain…
