Artist Bio:

Mark Masyga received his MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago and currently lives and works in New York. The  recipient of the Edward F. Albee award, Masyga has participated in residencies in Montauk, New York, Skowhegan,  Maine, and was featured in the PS 1 Studio Visit Program. Mark Masyga has exhibited extensively in New  York and Nationally. He is represented by Front Room Gallery in New York.

Artist Statement:

My recent work reflects an ongoing exploration of how drawing and  painting work together (or against one another). Some areas look  scribbly and haphazard, and others cohesive, united by copacetic colors.  Certain colors clash, while others harmonize. Parts of the paintings  are congested with lots of lines, and sometimes larger areas are  inhabited by a single background color. It’s as if they cannot come to  an agreement.


Most recently, actual letterforms and text have surfaced, only to be  subsumed by lines and colors, or changed and muted by way of  rearrangement and re-ordering (think William S. Burroughs' "cut-ups")
