Mark Bennion
Mark Bennion (b.1948 Seattle, Washington) is a painter and sculptor who has shown his work across the United States and Canada since 1968. Over the past 25 years he has developed a unique painting process, which he calls fresco, using oil, plaster and paper on a panel or canvas. Bennion currently has an installation at the Museum of Glass (MOG) in Tacoma, Washington and in April - July 2006 was featured in an exhibtion at the Museum of Northwest Art (MONA) in La Conner, Washington. Excerpt from the essay Wordless Stories, the Art of Mark Bennion by Michael Meade (2001). "Paint and plaster that fix little moments on paper, like moments that the inner mind knows in solitude, that allow meanings to enter or escape. Lyrical markings that appear as if the cover of Nature has worn away to reveal shapes of the world behind the world. Puzzle-like arrangements on fields of cracked ground that invite us to find our own history amongst them." Currently he lives and works on Vashon Island, near Seattle, Washington.
