Mark Chambers

In March 2011, Mark exhibited his body of work ‘Sinews of Understanding’ in a solo show in the Engine Room Gallery in Belfast.

This work is about harmony and discord and the notion that everything does not adhere to its symbolism. Multiple meanings will exist, often resulting in a paradox. It deals in opposites and contradictions: black and white, shadow and light,movement and stillness, clarity and obscurity, and the interplay between different dimensions.

The work uses the human form and other symbolic metaphors, applying a variety of materials, processes and techniques through the disciplines of drawing, painting, installation and sculpture. By removing objects from their physical context and isolating their elements, the work seeks to encourage the viewer to see things in a concentrated and intimate way; with the aim to provoke, enrich, destroy and renew sinews of understanding.
