Mark Whalen is an Australian-born, Los Angeles-based artist. In his sculptural and canvas works, Whalen expresses narratives that explore seemingly universal situations. He uses the figure, common objects and forms to capture, cordon and compartmentalise the distinctive characteristics of his figures as they shift under the weight of societal anxieties. In their contorted forms, we see playful compositions unfold as they sway through these problem solving constructions.
LA-based artist Mark Whalen provides an insight into his work and practice in the forthcoming issue of The Art Form.
Whalen’s sculptures use a saturated colour palette and alluring surface treatments; transforming industrial materials and found objects of our ordinary surroundings into witty, abstract museums and vivid depictions of life’s folly.
His first solo exhibition at the gallery will open later this month. To join our waiting list, contact the gallery.
