Mark's mixed media art, inspired by Jackson Pollock, uses poured and splattered materials like inks and dyes, creating dynamic, brush-free works.
"Impressions: Large and small." can broadly be described as a mixed media, a term that encompasses a wide range of approaches and interpretations within and outside the art world. Mark Lembo Often wondered how Jackson Pollock's work might have appeared with transparent colors. Anything that, pours, drips, splatters, or interacts-and is within reach-has found its way into his process. The media he uses varies greatly from piece to piece and can include liquid watercolor, acrylic inks, metallic inks, liquid acrylics, fabric dyes, chalk suspended in water, salt solutions, soaps, or surfactants. No brushes are used in his works.
