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. Painting exclusively in black and white, Mark's current works, series title "Street Markings" talk to the textures and tones of the roads and sidewalks of New York City. Mark Wiener studied under Bauhaus influences at the Philadelphia College of Art. He has been included in 56 solo and group exhibi- tions internationally since 2006. Mark has exhibited with Chelsea Museum of Art (New York), Adam Baumgold Gallery (New York), Danese (New York) Dorian Grey Gallery ( New York), Exit Art (New York) the Lab (Roger Smith Hotel, New York), Housatonic Museum of Art, (Bridgeport, Conn), Michelle Rosenfeld Gallery (New York), Bjorn Ressle Art Projects (New York),Elga Wimmer PCC (NYC), SideShow (Brooklyn, New York), Pink Gallery (Seoul, Korea), Dalhhousie Gallery, (Halifax, No- via Scotia), Religarei, Art Center, (New Delhi, India), among others
