I've just discovered the work of Australian-born artist, @mark__whalen. I am no intellectual when it comes to art, and simply go on what grabs my attention. I do, however, feel that you should respect the artist and find out what makes them tick and what drives their work. (Taken from his website) "The figures in Mark Whalen's work often appear to be in a state of unrest; whether amongst an angst-ridden room full of frenetic activity or metaphorically, where the state of mind appears trapped within a combative juncture". Being a sufferer of severe anxiety since my teens, with my mind in constant activity, it seems that this connection between my being is perhaps what draws me to his work. That, and maybe also what @itsnicethat says about his work; "Mark Whalen creates sprawling images of pastel-coloured worlds that look like a cross between folk art and scenes from Ancient Greek pottery". I'm Greek Cypriot and one of my favourite forms of art is ancient Greek pottery. Now, to save up to buy one of these masterpieces.
