In Mark Devereux’s new work, 36ACT the artist returns to his collection Alchemy (2004-10). Using imagery

created in the early stages of this project, Devereux uses the technique of mark-making to both alter and develop

works that explore notions of the sublime, cosmology and alchemy itself.

“My work explores the collision and cohesion between the boundaries of fine art, paint and photography. Taking

inspiration from what we see around us and images from the media, the interpretation of my work becomes personal

and discursive allowing interactions and engagement.”(Mark Devereux)

In reference to Devereux’s practice he is acutely aware of it being a combination of the technical procedures of

photography and the conceptual influences of fine art. This creates tension in his work as he is challenging people’s

preconceptions of the artist and photographer.
