For more information visit www.deanmlarson.com , or www.instagram.com/deanlarson07 About the Artist Over the past several years two central themes have consistently attracted and inspired my artist’s eye. The first motif is life in the city. Having relocated from Alaska and Maryland to California in 1997, the Bay area and in particular, San Francisco, became an instant source of diverse and compelling subject matter. From Russian Hill to North Beach, from Market Street to Golden Gate Park, the city that changes constantly presents new perceptions and subjects. The focus on what it means to be a contemporary realist is constantly at the forefront when planning new work. It’s never enough to simply copy what’s in front of you. There is a desire to go deeper and search for what is most significant and essential. Intentional soft blurs contrast with hard edges to have objects and figures come forth and recede and fuse to backgrounds within pictorial spaces. With my second subject, figures, I search for accidental moments where people reveal the variety of the human experience and also show glimpses of what it means to be living and working in modern society. Sometimes it is a lone figure and other times there is a group of figures where the relationships between the figures are closely observed, highlighting the gestures of each figure and the group as a whole. The search for mass shapes and abstract patterns that, by working through my painting process, eventually becomes more realistic, unique designs challenge and inspire me to keep painting each and every day.

AUG 16 - JAN 4Mark Engel is a figurative painter whose practice investigates the body as a site of transformation, perception, and psychological depth. Drawing on themes of connection, involution, and the fluid nature of selfhood, Engel constructs layered compositions that merge the figure with elements of landscape, gesture, and abstraction. His paintings explore the tension between form and dissolution, using fragmentation and distortion to reflect transitional states and the porous boundaries between interior and exterior experience. Engel’s approach is rooted in process and intuition. Each composition unfolds through cycles of addition and subtraction, allowing unconscious associations and emotional resonance to emerge. By balancing structure with flux, his work invites reflection on the instability of identity in a world shaped by constant change and relational complexity. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions, including Shapeshifters at Know Future Gallery, Constellations at Vargas Gallery, and group shows at Baton Rouge Gallery Center for Contemporary Art, Limner Gallery in New York, and 33 Contemporary Gallery in Chicago. His work has been featured in Create! Magazine, Artsin Square, and Curatory Magazine. Engel is a professor at Mission College in Santa Clara, California, and has contributed to arts education through teaching residencies and faculty exhibitions. His ongoing exploration of the figure offers a visual language for the complexities of becoming.

About the Artist I use the human figure as a central motif to explore themes of connection, transformation, and involution. My work revolves around the ever-changing motion of selfhood and explores the dynamic interplay between external forces and internal experiences. Process is an essential component in my work, and I build compositions that combine the figure with landscape, fragmentation, distortion, and gesture to reflect transitional states. Relying heavily on intuition, I feel my way through each composition by adding and subtracting elements to arrive at an image that is broader than my conscious awareness and infuses the work with a deeper level of meaning. I strive to find a balance between retaining form and dissolving into abstraction to capture the fluid nature of becoming and soften the boundaries between self and other. Previous Next
