Artist Statement

My training as a Tromp L'Oeil artist has gained me acceptance into that particular circle of influence, and some notoriety in the past. Peter Hastings Falk - Art Historian, Curator and Author has described my work this way: "[...Marc] is an emerging master in the tromp l'oeil tradition, an ancient form of painting rooted in antiquity. This painting technique is one of the most difficult to master. A flat surface stops the eye at the picture plane, while objects placed upon this surface seem to protrude, slightly, into the viewer's space".

It seems an "emerging master", should have been on his way to great achievements in the world of "Fool The Eye" paintings...except for one thing; I couldn't just work in one style. My mind wanders, the pressures of everyday life and the spinning world pull me from the meditative world of traditional oil painting into chaotic juxtaposing of graphite, spray paint and acrylic markers. I find myself compelled to comment on and document the momentous happenings in our country and around the world.

Technology and the speed at which it is exponentially progressing is changing our world faster in one year than it has changed in centuries. The ways in which we as individuals and as a people adapt to this new world fascinate me. My children will live in a way that I could not imagine only ten years ago. For better or worse, we are all on this ride together and I feel compelled to use my talent to document and make sense of our world. If I can make the viewer stop and think about something and see it in a new way, then I will succeed in my own way and on my terms. 

"Master one thing and repeat it", is the way I have been taught all of my life, but it didn't work for me. I have chosen my own way to make my statement. Some say it is the wrong way, and that is OK by me.
