DESCRIPTION:  Drawing influence from both modernist abstraction and pop culture, Mark Grotjahn’s paintings are intimate seductions, slipping between hard-edged design and emotive expression. Working from a central perspective point, Grotjahn’s Untitled radiates bands of golden hues, each creating a deception of space. Applied in thick impasto, their sleek forms dissolve into terrains of concentrated brushwork giving an effect of physical solidity. Built up in a series of opaque layers, the canvas’s texture and traces of under-painting create subtly shifting tones, flirting between the illusive and the concrete.
