Mark Andres is a painter, filmmaker and educator. All of these things are important when considering his work, whose influences span both art history and film genres. Son of Illustrator Charles J. Andres, he is comfortable in pulling threads from across the full spectrum of pictorial references, including illustration and comic book art, as well as Fauvism, German Expressionism and cinema. He draws subjects from classical and allegory paintings in reimaginings that are uniquely his own.
His exhibition “Indoors”, showing through April 3, showcases a body of work created over the past two years in which many of us were cossetted in our homes. During quarantine, he moved his studio to his home and developed remote teaching skills over Zoom. This isolation has resulted is a series of intimate portraits of people in interior spaces. There is particular attention to light in these paintings, as it beams from a lamp or streams through windows in carefully designed compositions as if each painting were an image from a film. The artist has said he wants his paintings to be like silent films. MORE...
