About the Item

Singed verso Nick Peña is a Memphis-based artist and educator, exhibiting for the second time with Sager Reeves Gallery this February. He holds a BFA from the School of Art and Design at Southern Illinois University–Carbondale and MFA from the University of Missouri–Columbia, with an extensive exhibition record and numerous honors and publications, including two features in New American Paintings. In his most recent series the American home, representing stability, and a fragmented and shifting landscape (instability) are veiled by a digitally-produced mat. Traditionally a mat is a flat, thin piece of paper-based material included within the picture frame to serve as additional border. Peña activates the commonly overlooked mat by using Sintra (a flattened sheet of PVC), that has a digitally-drawn image cut out. The mat is thus transformed from inactive decoration to digitally-produced veil that represents the technologically anxious precision with which we surround ourselves. Each composition is based on composites of a fragmented American landscape in peril, where tension lies in the contrasts between past and present, analog and digital, representation and abstraction, and stability and instability.

About the piece: Happy accident(s). Chaos amid the order? Words that describe this piece:panels, comics, structure, chaos, cartoon Artist Biography: Mark A. Lembo Script M Abstract Art Mark’s dynamic work blurs the distinction between alcohol ink and watercolor - working with dyes, inks, liquid acrylic, liquid watercolor, and other aqueous media; lately, he has been incorporating metallic watercolor and pearlescent ink to his work. He has used canvas, synthetic Yupo™ paper, Yasutomo Mineral Paper, and various watercolor papers. Mark’s journey into the world of creative arts started with the question, “What would Jackson Pollock’s work look like if he had used transparent watercolors?” So, it was out with the pencils, pens, and brushes, and on to the pouring of various aqueous solutions. While mostly self-taught, Mark took a series of classes at the Creative Arts Group, Sierra Madre, CA, under Joe Stoddard, as well as seminars with Robert Burridge...
