Mars artworks often incorporate the use of silkscreen aka serigraphy (from
the French words for “silk writing”) where ink is pulled across a piece
of silk fabric onto various mediums including wood, cardboard, and
paper. His works form a running commentary on global popular culture.
This is a Mars studio artifact: Generally
these are unusual works on paper or cardboard found hidden away in the
studio. Experimental works, extras, odds and ends, may be scuffed, bent,
nicked or torn. Fabulous treasures found tucked away in the back of
racks, drawers and flat files, or wrapped up in dusty bubble wrap.
Wonderful opportunities for you to find hidden gems.
