Seemingly bent on blurring and obliterating conventional stylistic boundaries, Mark Staples' creations in metal and mixed media sculpture release a torrent of ideas in seductive abstract expressionism that transport the viewer both above and below normal levels of rational thought. Incorporating an intricate personal symbolism into his sculpture, bright colors, plants and abstract organic forms proliferate in his imagery. Borrowing from his skills as a painter, Mark employs vibrant colors in great variety, applying stunning blues, yellows, reds, and greens to the metal.

Artist's Statement
“I continually strive to capture moments in time from the ordinary world around me and infuse my creations with drama, importance and the magic found in nature…..such is the force which nurtures my work.”
