what to wear when…delicately pressing argus panoptes’ eyes onto feathers, rage hot and thick in her throat. peacocks - their ostentatious plumes, their emerald scales - are associated with feminine vanity though she knows that only a male bird would be so brazen, would be so unaware of how simple it would be to snap his slim, brittle neck. his and his bovine bitch’s.

Mark Demsteader was born in 1963 in Manchester where he still lives and works.He studied foundation at Rochdale college and Oldham college, but he is largely self taught having spent many years studying the figure at life drawing classes and developing a unique style through close observation of the human form.
In recent years Mark`s reputation has flourished, such that he has become one of the most popular figurative artists working in Britain today. His powerful depictions of the female form in clean and assured lines of pastel and gouache have sparked a renaissance of interest in traditional life drawing amongst the art collecting fraternity. This immense technical ability is tempered by the natural sensitivity with which he imbues each subject. Although isolated in the picture plane each model seems to live and breathe, their expression and poise conveying a sense of narrative that invites the viewer to ask more questions about them than the artist answers.
