Michael Mark completed this mud brick studio in 2019. He focuses on applying paint to canvas and paper using palette knives and gloved hands, allowing color to accumulate gradually. Michael has tacked postcards of painters Albert Pinkham Ryder, Caspar David Friedrich, and Australian artist David Davies to the studio walls. These artists, renowned for their moody romanticism and tonal lyricism, provide a conceptual framework that guides his work. Recently, he has experimented with creating paintings on circular canvases made from repurposed trampoline bases.
