74 57 Mark Francis (b.1962) Untitled (2002) oil on paper 58.5 x 76.5cm (23 x 30in) Provenance: Michael Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles, USA (label verso); Private Collection In his work Mark Francis sets out to represent the world beyond the limits of conventional vision, the microscopic and the macroscopic. Whether he has in mind the realm of teeming microbiological organisms or the data feeds from radio telescopes, he arranges his imagery against the armature of a grid which symbolizes the underlying structure of the universe. Often, his evocations of normally unseen processes have a slightly ominous note, partly because of their mystery. €2,500-€3,500 ($2,808-$3,932) (£2,118-£2,966)
