I knew there was a practical reason for why i do deadlifts 😅 This is a work in progress made with smoke grenades and a homemade missile launcher (LINK IN BIO) 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀#ART #artist #smoke #smoking #abstract #studio #marcusdove #wip #deadlift #newart #artnews #smile
Year review, East Asia and motivation.
So if anybody thought that this was going to be a regular updated blog, by now you’ve probably guessed that it’s not. This is just something for me to spew out my thoughts from time to time publicly and vent about the present positions I'm in.
I’m currently at a critical stage, it’s coming up to a year since I graduated and I couldn’t have asked for a better year. The recognition my practice has received, the inspiration it has triggered and also the financial benefits that have come from the successes of this first year have all been great. Now it's time to take it to the next level, whether that be for a solo show (with or without an established gallery) or appearance at a major Art Fair it’s time to push myself out and further into the art world and really own the practice I’m developing.
It's been obvious to me since doing a couple of live performances that my biggest fans seem to be the Chinese and I’m pretty sure that’s due to China being the birthplace of pyrotechnics, mainly fireworks. Ultimately a big goal for me is to branch out internationally towards the Chinese, Japanese and East Asian art market to explore what the art world has to offer for me over there (seriously, I've already begun to learn Mandarin). But this is a goal that is quite a few steps ahead of where I am now, I need to walk before running, so I'm going to bare it in mind and keep this immediate focus of the next stages development on home soil (UK).
People ask, ''other than wanting to make money from selling art what else drives you to do what you do?'' I believe that it's the idea of inspiring anybody who is currently uninterested in the art world, just to inspire them with my style and to show them that not all of the stuff you see at the moment in elitist galleries is minimalistic, alienating and pretentious b*******. I want the masses to know that there's still some interesting stuff going on over here and it comes with resistance and a cause. I only pay attention to artists who are visually interesting to me and who excite my inner child, I'm not excited by the minimalistic creators of the void as I can't be sold into that. As much as I love Yves Klein (for his fire paintings) and to a certain degree Malevich, I still don’t think a plain black square should be called Art.
I'm not here to confuse people, I'm here too ultimately lay it out straight and show you some creativity and ambition fuelled by the risks I love to take.
Creation via destruction.
Shipping off one of the smallest pieces I've done so far with smoke grenades and the missile launcher - 'Wild Horses Run East' is off to a lucky home 🐴. I will gladly make pieces to suit nearly all budget types, just get in touch via my website (link in bio) www.MarcusDove.com 🚀 🚀 🚀 #art #artwork #artstudio #contemporaryart #modernart #artist #ukartist #abstract #artnews #newartist #curator #artcurator #artdealer #artgallery #artshow #colour #artsale #urban #guerilla #creative #onlineartsales #marcusdove #wallart #photography #streetart #graffiti #artfair #instaart #luxury #interiordesign (at StudionAme)
Breathe. A venting, self-motivational prompt.
Sitting here listening to Forest Swords - Engravings [Full Album] and having a reflection on whats already passed this year.
-I got in touch with the BBC. They got in touch back and made a news piece about me.
-Primary sales and commission based requests happen more frequently for which i believe I have the news piece to thank for. Its a great start... (EMPHASIZE on the word start.... I'm definitely one of those people who's seldom happy with what they've achieved. There's many reasons as to why that is, one of which being that this isn't my full potential yet. I'm always trying to be the best version of myself and have the best version of my practice, atm I'm failing to do so and I'm annoyed at myself.
I'm annoyed at myself for not being more organized... I've never been organized. This blog is a good example, last time i wrote something was last year with the idea to do it more frequently but hey ho here we are 2 months later. I don't think its a bad thing, its just something you the reader will have to get used to, for now. Time is short and i want to spend it doing a million other things other than writing about myself.
Do you know how easy it is to forget to just BREATHE sometimes, like step back and take a deep breath and concentrate on nothing else but breathing? We get so wrapped up in day to day life that the basics get replaced with superficiality's. I haven't eaten consistently healthy in a good few weeks and the same goes for working out consistently too. . . As you've guessed by now, this is a rant, to myself.
After writing this I hope i can wake up tomorrow and miraculously be organized....workouts at 7am...regular healthy meals and be on top of my shit all day, because that would be closer to the best version of myself.
This is no longer a rant, it's a venting, self-motivational prompt to raise my organizational levels higher and keep going...but this time Marcus.... fucking breathe.

I built the missile launcher from scratch, when my missiles fly straight and hit where the laser's pointing I get that feeling of success. Its a bit like life,you might not always bang first time but when you do, after constant attempts, that first hit is a relief that leaves a mark on your life. 🚀💥 ( www.marcusdove.com // link in bio // Promo video on website ) #art #artwork #artstudio #contemporaryart #modernart #artist #ukartist #abstract #artnews #newartist #curator #artcurator #artdealer #artgallery #artshow #colour #color #urban #guerilla #creative #onlineartsales #marcusdove #wallart #photography #streetart #graffiti #artfair #instaart #luxury #interiordesign (at StudionAme)
