Statement

Rough Road
Abstract Industrial Assemblage

My work is often called primitive, post-apocalyptic, even futuristic. I don’t object to any of these descriptions, as I’m not consciously pursuing any specific aesthetic. I simply collect and combine battered and discarded objects that to me reflect the emotions of the human narrative, and allow them to tell their stories as they wish. They are each a travelogue of the “Rough Road” we all walk and endure until some sense of new purpose or rebirth is realized. The viewer will have their own unique history and experiences, and will bring their own meaning and significance to each piece.

Biography

Picture
(photo credit - Media Service Studio)
Markus  is an abstract sculptor who creates almost exclusively with reclaimed objects scavenged from the alleys of his home city of Baltimore. As an artist for 35 years, Markus has worked in nearly every aspect of creative art, including poetry, music, acting, and producing events for literary, visual and performance art. In 2014 he turned his attention solely to 3-D work, and now focuses exclusively on abstract assemblage in metal, wood, concrete, glass and found objects. Markus often creates his work in series of 4, 8, 12 or more pieces that share a related feeling or theme, though he pursues no statements or social commentary. 
His works have been purchased by collectors across the United States and in countries as far flung as Australia. Over the past two years, he has completed several commissioned works in a wide range of styles and materials, including a 10-foot tall, permanent outdoor installation of copper and steel on a collector’s Maryland property.
In 2016, he worked with the Overlea Community Association to create the Overlea ArtsFest, and has served as its curator and head juror since its inception.
