Mark Langley’s work can stubbornly defy categorisation, encompassing at times, video, sound, sculpture, performance and installation.

 

Often witty, melancholic or even romantic in spirit, it’s actually the ‘stuff of everyday life’ that is routinely drawn into his practice. In this way, we can perhaps view his work as curating ‘the ordinary’, where the objects, images and sounds of daily life are collected and subtly transformed into artworks charged with new meanings or narratives.

 

His works may occasionally appear simplistic or even utilitarian but through the alchemy of play or humour he manages to conjure with the both tangible and ephemeral. His works often disguise a conceptual ‘sleight of hand’, by deftly revealing the extraordinary from within the ordinary. 

 

"I feel my work is most successful when I can take something that belongs to ‘the everyday’ and enable it to escape the gravity of its origins to orbit freely around a new idea or meaning"

 

Mark Langley is an artist based in the UK and exhibited internationally.
