Mark Burrell

Concealed, painted, staged, Burrell's poetry resonates by its raw beauty. From a found object to a simple line, a crumpled paper to an ecstatic gesture, Burrell orchestrates an off-beat visual music made of echos and unsuspected harmonies.

My work is a simple support for meditation, an artifice serving to fix the attention, to stabilise or excite the mind.

Afro-Matisse is part of a selection of 197 artworks of renown artists, curated by Michael Schmidt-Ott, that will be auctioned for the benefit of Desideria Care e. V. on October 5th in Cologne by Sotheby's. The auction is a cooperation of several Rotary clubs from Vienna and Cologne, too.
