Mark Andrew Allen

"Fine artist Mark Andrew Allen's sophisticated jabs at consumer culture blend playful sarcasm with vibrant text messages woven into polychromatic backdrops" - Quendrith Johnson
Mark Andrew Allen is an internationally represented fine artist whose work today is a culmination of many years of painting, thinking and experiencing. He blends urban street art with his background of typography, mixed media collage, and abstract expressionism into each of his pop expressionist works to establish a particular narrative of our modern day culture.

His artworks are in many notable collections and have been exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Charleston, SC, Asbury Park, NJ, and Chelsea, Canada. Museums include The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum - Cleveland, OH; Experience Music Project - Seattle, WA; Memphis Brooks Museum of Art - Memphis, TN; and Acadia Museum - Lafayette, LA. He has had two art installations in the Rockefeller Center windows in New York and his art work has been included in several television shows and feature films. The Disney Channel purchased eight paintings for the Emmy winning TV show "Wizards of Waverly Place," staring Selena Gomez.
