Mark Innerst's most recent paintings draw upon subjects as familiar as New York cityscapes, the Chelsea Piers Driving Range, a Hudson River boat launch and dense forest landscapes. However by simplifying forms, changing vantage points and shifting the scale of the paintings, Innerst explores and reinterprets each image.
PAUL KASMIN GALLERY is pleased to announce our upcoming
exhibition of new paintings by MARK INNERST to be held from April 5
through May 4, 2002.
Mark Innerst's most recent paintings draw upon subjects as familiar as
New York cityscapes, the Chelsea Piers Driving Range, a Hudson River
boat launch and dense forest landscapes. However by simplifying forms,
changing vantage points and shifting the scale of the paintings, Innerst
explores and reinterprets each image.
With his subtle sensibility and masterful, meticulous technique Innerst
visually transcends the commonplace, elevating his everyday subject
matter to a heroic level. The porcelain smooth surface of his paintings is
infused with a brilliant atmospheric light that is created through evenly
applied successive layers of acrylic paints and each painting is finished
with his handmade wood frame.
Innerst's vision of his subjects provides the viewer with an intimate
encounter translated through scale and intense detail. His paintings
invite the viewer to savor the fleeting images of our surroundings, offering
a valuable glimpse into humanity. While Innerst's work continues the
tradition of twentieth century American Realism and references both the
Romantic Landscape and Symbolist mythology, his work is realized with
a contemporary eye.
