"cross narrative" untitled series Drawing

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 tonali- ties. Each mark is a response to the ones before, building rhyth- mic layers of abstract narrative.
