His love of collectible toys, comic books, classical art, act as an accessible vehicle to look deep within ourselves to reflect on who we are.

Using recognisable shared cultural icons, street art motifs, typography, psychological theories, and philosophy, Brink Studio explores how growing up and navigating the world in a western urban environment can be an exciting yet complicated journey. Each work of art is created to encourage a journey of reflection whilst empathising with modern urban cultural experiences.

Mark Kennedy – Mosaic Artist

Wednesday, January 20th, 2021

I am a mosaic artist whose work has been on on the streets on Manchester and beyond for 30 years…notably Affleck’s palace and the Etihad stadium. I have made untold amounts of work for untold amounts of people ..a list that I couldn’t possibly detail. A list that would go from street cleaners to hotels to department stores to art institutions to cafes from gangsters to princes to billionaires to the homeless for film stars to magicians for footballers and alchoholics from high lamas to burglars…I think you get my drift…from high end to lowlife…everybody’s pound note is worth exactly the same every publication is worthy of a reader..my most proud moment and career high was i drank the ashes of Bernard Manning. And if you buy me a Guinness one day I’ll tell you the story…

Watch youtube videos about my work here, and here, and here!

My website is crap ..the work is old and bobbins and I cant be arsed with it…www.markkennedy.co.uk
