Mark doesn’t just shape steel, he gives it soul. A material often seen as rigid and cold becomes fluid, expressive, and deeply human in his hands. Over the past three decades, Mark has become one of South Africa’s most quietly influential sculptors, with work that lives at the intersection of architecture, design, and spirit.

At The Academy, we believe the story behind the work is as powerful as the piece itself. Mark’s philosophy is grounded in purity of form and purpose. He strips away the unnecessary, using only essential lines to create sculptures that speak for themselves. His art is not about spectacle, it’s about timelessness, presence, emotion, and connection.

His commissions span private estates, public spaces, and international collections, including the Norval Foundation, ArcelorMittal, and Vodacom. He has exhibited alongside William Kentridge, collaborated with Eduardo Villa, and continues to transform everyday spaces into places of reflection and meaning.

To Mark, sculpture is a spiritual practice. Each piece is an offering, an attempt to bring balance to the world through form, material, and message. We see him not only as a sculptor, but as a storyteller. His work is a bridge between matter and meaning, between the imagined and the real.

At The Academy, we are proud to share his vision and help bring his work into the lives of those who are ready to feel it.
