Mark Rebennack’s practice is rooted in rhythm, repetition, and the quiet tension between control and imperfection.
His abstract line drawings emerge from a meditative process he calls “Exhale” - a slow, deliberate engagement with mark-making that mirrors both the mechanical precision of automation and the vulnerability of the human hand. Each line is drawn with intention, yet remains open to deviation: a glitch, a wobble, a moment of hesitation that transforms into something quietly profound.

These subtle disruptions - what might traditionally be seen as mistakes - become central to Rebennack’s visual language. They reveal the human side of a seemingly robotic system, embracing the poetry of process where accuracy and error coexist. His compositions offer clarity and calm, inviting viewers to pause and reflect. In their simplicity, they create space for presence, grounding us in the tactile experience of time and gesture.
At Oxford North, Rebennack’s work resonates with the spirit of innovation. His drawings reflect the balance between structure and softness, between progress and pause. The “glitch” becomes a metaphor for creative insight - a reminder that breakthroughs often arise from imperfection, and that the pursuit of knowledge is enriched by the unexpected.
