Mark Weber: Animals
Artist and Illustrator Mark Weber combines his twin passions for drawing and wildlife in this new exhibition, ANIMALS, opening in the Erie Art Museum鈥檚 Ronald E. Holstein Gallery on October 27, 2017.
Whether using acrylic paint, marker, or graphite, drawing is always the foundation of Weber鈥檚 work. Sometimes he invites the element of chance by applying ink loosely with a brush and blowing and turning the support to manipulate the drips. This stream-of-conscious interaction with his work leads to dreamy landscapes populated by strange human and anthropomorphic animal figures. His other signature style is to pack the flattened surface with compressed stylized animals, vegetation, and abstract shapes. He then fills the space with vivid primary colors.
