Rainbows and Rainclouds - Mark Davies Summer Launch!

LITHIUM - Rainclouds & Rainbows 

Mark’s Spring / Summer collection will take flight on May 20th. A select body of work that will comprise a blend of haunting and enchanting 'Storyteller' pieces that so many of you will be able to relate to and draw strength from. In addition, there will be pieces from his sought after 'Lost in Hollywood' series, one will be an intense sequel, created to make you smile, whilst another will take an innovative format into hyperdrive!  Finally, there will be pieces that sit within Mark’s cherished 'Retrospective' label, and best enjoyed from the comfort of your armchair, with friends. One thing is for sure, this collection will give your senses a damn good thrashing!

Speaking about the collection; 'My art is everything to me, it is how I talk to others and myself. Through the narratives that act as the undertow to specific pieces, it is my outlet to reinforce a message, to shout and to scream and to try to heal and to help. It’s art with meaning and storytelling in its most real and honest form. That brings me onto ‘Lithium’ – the title piece to my Spring / Summer collection for 2023. Art is subjective but this is genuinely beautiful, for what it represents and the good that it can do through affiliation. 

My ‘Storyteller’ works are without doubt the most intense from a conceptual complexity level, and I love how they can be interpreted to relate to another person’s experiences. 
Without doubt, it is the series of chapters based on the classic fairy-tale Snow White that has seen me return the most to continue the story. Yet the more pieces that I create across other subject matters and their characters, it has made me aware of how there is so much synergy between them, and I love that. 

So ‘Lithium’ is the following chapter to an earlier piece entitled ‘Mirror Mirror’ where we saw Snow White’s empty glass coffin within the forest. It was showing that point where you either effectively seal your own coffin and choose your own fate through decision making or you allow help in to help you escape your ‘forest’. What I mean by that in reality is that this is no fairy-tale, there is no eureka moment or epiphany – instead it is a brutal journey shrouded in shadows and complete darkness, yet one that can twist and turn towards a beautiful light, one that brings warmth, comfort, and healing'
