I Spot Eye Spots

Beginning February 14, the Georgetown Art Center is proud to present the opening of our newest exhibit I SPOT EYE SPOTS: Non-Deterministic, Synthetic Figures by Mark Greenwalt. “I draw on surfaces pregnant with evolutionary potential. There, anomalous figures emerge as wondrous pictorial constructs drawn to those surfaces by the sound of the pencil in my hand. Through cycles of forming and reforming, such figures challenge canons of proportion underlying ideals of beauty and question persistent societal notions about depictions of monstrousness.” Mark Greenwalt was born in 1961 in Dallas, Texas as the son of a master jeweler. After High School, he received a BFA and MA from Stephen F Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas and an MFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. While in New York, Greenwalt worked for Trestle Editions, Petersburg Press, and M. Knoedler Gallery. After moving to Galveston Texas in 1994, Greenwalt has taught various drawing and painting courses for the University of Houston, Rice University, and more recently at the University of Houston Clear Lake. In 2019-2020 Greenwalt was President of the Texas Association of Schools of Art. Currently he is Professor of Art at College of the Mainland in Texas City, Texas and a life drawing instructor for the Glassell School of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. In 2018 Greenwalt participated in Art and Pathology, a collaborative project with the University of Texas Medical Branch and Galveston Art Center. Mark is represented by Hooks-Epstein Galleries, Houston and has exhibited his work regionally and internationally. His work can be viewed at: markgreenwalt.com The exhibit will run from February 14 – March 16, and is free to attend. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, February 15th from 4-6pm, and an artist talk on Sunday, February 16th at 2pm. We would love to have you come and experience this newest exhibit with us. Georgetown Art Center, 816 S. Main St., Georgetown, TX 78626 artcenter.georgetown.org
