Current Perspectives Presents Mark Thomas Gibson: The Work of Mark Thomas Gibson Over The Last Five Years
KCAI Painting and Current Perspectives was pleased to welcome Mark Thomas Gibson with his artist talk, The Work of Mark Thomas Gibson Over The Last Five Years.
“Mark Thomas Gibson’s personal lens on American culture stems from his multipartite viewpoint as an artist—as a black male, a professor, and an American history buff. These myriad and often colliding perspectives fuel his exploration of contemporary culture through languages of painting and drawing, revealing a vision of a dystopic America where every viewer is implicated as a potential character within the story.”
Hearing Mark speak about his work gives us a view into the ongoing thoughts he has surrounding the subject of his work and the way these thoughts inform the work he is currently on and inspires where he goes next in his work. To hear him speak on his journey as an artist is inspiring to graduating and graduated artists alike.
