About The Artwork
I wouldn’t go that far. I think that, in a way, you were too modest when you said that in all these discussions the critics always miss the point. My hypothesis is that they don't really miss it. It’s not that we took some esoteric point and everyone else missed it. To put it in somewhat vulgar terms, the point was simply this: ‘OK fine, but why did you do it? Why did you spend so much money for this crazy project?’ The true message is: ‘We don't care about the movie. We want to know what was the true purpose of this expenditure.’ Your answer was a very naive one. You said, ‘I wanted to see how will they react to what I am showing them’ and so on. But the true response is to say, ‘OK, but those reactions were only a secondary effect. The true aim was something else’ So I always return to the same type of criticism. Namely, you are right, we are all wrong, but I don't think that we missed anything.

While Mark M. Whelan's art is primarily portraits and figurative pictures. However, his aim is not to represent a beautiful image of a person or an individual in a futuristic context; rather, it’s an ongoing exploration of the process of how art is created concerning its structure, composition, colour, and technique. Like many figurative painters of his generation, it’s impossible for Whelan to avoid the looming shadows of Francisco Goya, Francis Bacon, Hieronymus Bosch and Lucian Freud, all of which have dominated the figurative world, their paintings both evocative, emotional and full of existential angst and anticipation of an uncertain future. However, Whelan is finding his futuristic path into the light, away from these titans of the art world, his work constantly seeking to go beyond the discipline of representational art and the more gestural expressionism that we are familiar with in the figurative paintings of Bacon.
