Abstract painter Mark Wiener approaches painting from an organic and gestural perspective. In 2007 he took to re-defining what he calls the “Cross Narrative” between action painting and minimalism, a dialogue between geometric shapes, painterly strokes, and tonalities. Each mark is a response to the ones before building rhythmic layers of abstract narrative.
Mark Wiener studied under Bauhaus influences at the Philadelphia College of Art. He has exhibited at the Chelsea Museum of Art (New York), the Roger Smith Hotel (New York), Pierre Menard Gallery (Massachusetts), Galapagos Art Space (Brooklyn, New York) and Tompkins Square Gallery (New York).
