BIOGRAPHY
Mark Power received his M.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts, a B.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Power exhibits his minimalist sculpture/drawings extensively and has served as a lecturer and visiting artist at Princeton University, Pratt, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Wisconsin, and the Collage for Creative Studies, among others. Inspired by the work of John Cage, issues of perception and representation are paramount to his work.
Power’s current body of work—sculpture, drawing, collage—is predicated upon the assumption of implied function/narrative existing in non-sequential associations and familiarity. Leveraging language and how identification can be compromised, challenged, and redirected, Power moves the viewer’s perspective from the clinical to a feeling of emotion, time and intimacy. Forthcoming exhibitions include: Beeler Gallery, Columbus College of Art and Design, Columbus Ohio, Con Vida 2020/Tactical Stream New York, NY. and The Cloudknitters,Albene, Antwerp Belgium.
