| About the Exhibition
Opening reception First Friday, Jully 9, 6 - 8:30 pm
The Bridgette Mayer Gallery is pleased to present its second
solo exhibition by artist Mark Brosseau, Wondrous Spaces.
The exhibition will feature approximately 19 mixed media paintings
on panel, canvas, and board. Also on view in the Vault Room
will be an exhibition of drawings by the artist in accordion
books, titled Wondrous Sequences.
Infused with a sense of play and wonderment, Brosseau's latest
body of work demonstrates spontaneous, yet precise explorations
of our environment. Delving into the relationships of objects
and the spaces they inhabit, the artist conjures up bright,
imaginative compositions that invite the viewer to re-examine
one's visual experience. Originating from a fleeting moment
in real-life, or from the relics of art history, the paintings
are visually stimulating, inspiring new ways of both seeing
and feeling. Says the artist, " The spaces I create are
meant to be not only enjoyed, but inhabited and felt –
they present an opportunity for someone to journey through
my process of creating and understanding this visual experience."
Mark Brosseau received his B.A. in Studio Art from Dartmouth
University, and his M.F.A. in Painting from the University
of Pennsylvania. His recent solo exhibitions include WordSpace
at Bridgette Mayer Gallery (2006), Vocabulary at
St. Joseph's University (Philadelphia, PA, 2005), and three
solo exhibitions in Iceland, where the artist completed a
Fulbright Fellowship in painting and printmaking in 2002.
His work is included in public and private collections in
Philadelphia, PA, Hanover, NH and Reykjavik, Iceland.
