The work reflects Mark’s ability to find poetry in unexpected places, turning a moment of quiet observation into a meditation on human connection and the wonder embedded in everyday surroundings.
New Wave
The following digital artworks were created by Austin Sessler, otherwise known as “youngdumnumb” online.
Only one thing is certain… life is uncertain
Unexpected, beautiful things can emerge through acknowledging uncertainty, how life-altering events have impacted my art practice.
Spirit of Time
A surrealist art work which questions the moral, political, economic, religious, and ecological values of the western world.
What’s An Artist To Do?
What’s an artist to do during the Pandemic? Keep painting. Get lost in the process. Hope for tomorrow. Wake up and repeat.
Studio Pep Talk
I wouldn’t believe an artist who claims they’ve never experienced a dry spell, never wondered whether they’d sapped their creativity dry or never avoided the studio for fear of facing failure. Trust me, I’ve been there but I’ve learned some tricks along the way to overcome these perils.
Cityscapes
New York, London, Rome, Budapest are some of the towns which delight me.
The drawings are strongly inspired by these cities or they show an amalgamation of any of these exisiting places. It takes between two weeks and half a year to finish each piece, altough I work on several pieces at the time.
Arts Voice For Planet Earth
Early in my young career as an artist I would purchase pre-stretched and primed canvases. One day I decided to increase the volume of my work, so I went out and purchased six of these canvases in various sizes. When I got back to my studio I unwrapped each one canvas from its plastic shrink-wrap.
Chaos of Colour
For as long as I can remember, I have been absolutely enamoured by colours. I adore the spectrum of hues, the tints and shades of each and the vibrancy, as well as intensity, they can possess. After years of careful editing and much experimentation, my attraction to colour has blossomed into a style I’ve titled, Chaos Of Colour.
How I found “The Way of the Brush”: Part 1: Drawing Forth what is Within
It is the willingness to be open to the creative spirit that moves in all us & trusting our own innate knowledge and giving it permission to come through in our artwork. Pure Process is accessing the deeper, mysterious and hidden places within our soul that have no words.
