Mark Gleason
"Mannerism"
April 1 - May 1, 2011
Artist Reception: Friday, April 1st; 8-11 PM
In these paintings, Mark Gleason continues to use Mannerist techniques to explore existential themes via absurdist situations. Animals are often included to define aspects of the relationship of a central character's orientation or connection to the world. Specific influences to these pieces include the works of Samuel Beckett, Cormac McCarthy, and Buster Keaton.
In addition to painting, Mark teaches high school art in Palo Alto, California and writes a daily music blog.
This is his second featured exhibition at La Luz de Jesus.
