People are infatuated with shoes in every form, including art. As an accomplished shoe designer, Mark Schwartz has made a name for himself drawing and designing shoes.
Mark takes his work to the next level by making a transition into the art world and introducing an original collection that will be displayed in galleries internationally and throughout the United States.
For the past 20 years he was traveled the world. Gaining inspiration for his ideas from renowned artists like Andy Warhol, who Mark beneficially watched at work and Roger Vivier, who he cultivated his talents with for four years.
Both Warhol and Vivier encouraged Mark to continue his capricious approach to fabricate his artistic style of shoes.
The subliminal influence of the two provided Mark with a canvas to create a multifaceted panorama of collages, drawings, prints and footwear into a captivating thought; 'Flaunt the imperfection'.
He is producing exciting work by taking advantage of the spontaneity and movement that shoes can create when drawn on paper.
Mark is developing fresh images, evoking a certain confidence within his works that until now, very few artists have tried their hand at. His signature style exaggerates the usual way people see shoes by playing off the already artistic shapes of footwear and creating art that exudes personality.
Mark Schwartz shapes his designs into dynamic, visual overload placing them on paper in ways that enforce contemplation about the reality of the shoe and its true meaning. He smears the images on a whim as though he craves imperfection, developing the thought that shoes project more than just a stylish accessory.
It is a rarity today to find an artist who sees excitement in the way shoes present themselves as art. Currently, Mark's works are being collected worldwide amongst a loyal following.
