Mark Sink Still-life Photography
American, b. 1958
Mark Sink, a Denver-based photographer, had a formative experience in the 1980s working alongside several influential artists in New York City. During this period, he collaborated with Robert Mapplethorpe, known for his bold and intimate portraits, whose work deeply influenced Sink's approach to human subjects. He also worked with Keith Haring, whose vibrant, socially engaged art inspired Sink’s exploration of color and dynamic space in photography.
Additionally, Sink was exposed to the creative atmosphere of Andy Warhol's Factory, where he absorbed Warhol’s unique approach to celebrity culture and mass production, shaping his understanding of the art-world persona. Sink also collaborated with Cindy Sherman, whose conceptual photography focused on identity and self-representation, influencing Sink's own exploration of these themes in portraiture.
Sink’s collaborations with these and other prominent artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Laurie Anderson provided him with a rich artistic foundation. Their innovative work encouraged Sink to experiment with different photographic techniques and to blend fine art, performance, and conceptual photography, a direction that would define much of his career. These experiences in New York City helped shape Sink’s artistic vision, which continues to push the boundaries of traditional photography while exploring identity, memory, and the human experience.to

Five Fish (Color Food Still Life Photograph of Fish on Tabletop with Mint Green)
By David Halliday
Located in Hudson, NY
Formalist style color still life photograph of five sardine fish on a white marble tabletop with a mint green background
"Five Fish", 2007
Archival pigment print, edition of 25
Image size: 11 x 14 inches
17 x 21 inches with light wood frame with non-glare glass and 8-ply white mat
Excellent condition, ready to hang as is
Halliday captures the beauty of a traditional still life with a contemporary spin. Here 5 fish lay on a table against a light green background. The print is part of an edition of 25, is currently framed in a light wood frame with non-glare glass and an 8-ply white mat. The artist's signature is located on the back and front.
About the Artist:
David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way, and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing.
More about the work:
A master of light, David Halliday produces lush and elegant images that are both classical and modern. Celebrated for his ‘purist’ eye, he poetically captures the nude male body in a selection of sepia-toned prints from 1996. Rarely revealing the model's face, Halliday prefers to focus on the natural drape of limbs, soft folds of flawless skin, and curvature of the spine. Overall, a stunningly intimate portrayal of the male form done with elegance and charm.
