Mark Moore Fine Art is very pleased to present a debut Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition titled, “Disrupted Landscapes” of new mixed media work by JENNIFER GUNLOCK.

Jennifer Gunlock’s work explores the relationships between the objects of nature and those imposed upon them by human activity. By layering photographs taken on her travels, decorative papers and drawing, she constructs tree-based forms which are awkwardly fused with architectural motifs. Each composition reflects a long passage of time in which buildings and trees stretch and crumble, each pushing against the other. The work is a commentary on humanity’s direct impact on the environment, as well as Earth’s interminable shapeshifting over the long history of its existence.

“In her mixed media collages, Gunlock explores the restless intersection of nature and the built environment. She depicts trees with rugged branches and burly roots wrangling with residential facades, windows, gates and other architectural features. Gunlock captures a fleeting moment in this struggle, one in which nature and architecture seem to co-exist in a colorful equilibrium, if only for a moment. Gunlock alludes to historical patterns of overshoot, which are marked by excessive demand for natural resources, followed by eras of human decline and the slow recovery of forests and ecosystems. But in these works, Gunlock offers a vision of a hopeful future in which the built environment is woven sustainably into the natural world.”

-Al Grumet of Art Works for Change

Based in Los Angeles, Gunlock has received an MFA at California State University, Long Beach in 2003. A 2022 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, she has exhibited nationally and in local venues such as Sturt Haaga Gallery at Descanso Gardens, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Launch LA, and Angels Gate Cultural Center. She has been Artist in Residence at Cill Rialaig Project in Ireland; Playa in Summer Lake, Oregon; Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts in Saratoga, Wyoming; and at the Pajama Factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, among others. In 2014-15 Gunlock participated in “Fires of Change,” an NEA-funded collaboration between artists and scientists, to translate the social and ecological issues surrounding wildfire in the Southwest. Following a fire science bootcamp in the Grand Canyon, and a year to complete a project, a group exhibition opened at Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, Arizona in September 2015 and traveled to the University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson and 516 Arts in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

LOOK TO THE SKIES: An Exclusive ARTSY Exhibition

Mark Moore Fine Art is very pleased to present an Exclusive ARTSY Online Group Exhibition titled LOOK TO THE SKIES featuring artists Lita Albuquerque; Josh Azzarella; Mark Bennett; Dennis Ekstedt; Penelope Umbrico; Cassandra C. Jones; and Lisa Stefanelli.

Painting the sky, the stars, and the planets is a skill as old as time itself. Long before we as a species knew anything about the universe and our place within it, artists were looking upwards to the skies for inspiration. Artists like Van Gogh, Durer, Trouvelot, and Rudaux, all created art inspired by outer space over the centuries.

Our collective fascination with the skies have inspired artists, astronomers, and visionaries dating as far back as 16,500 B.C., when the earliest representations of constellations appeared in cave paintings in Lascaux, France and Cueva del Castillo, Spain. The book is notable for its use of juxtaposition; rather than being organized chronologically or thematically, LOOK TO THE SKIES presents disparate works side-by-side, highlighting fluctuations in humanity’s understanding of space across vast lengths of time.

Throughout history, artists have contemplated and reflected on the human condition. And what greater human condition is there than our position on this singular planet amidst an ever-expanding celestial unknown? We’ve highlighted seven contemporary artists featured in LOOK TO THE SKIES who’ve grappled with the subject; evaluating humanity’s intimate relationship with the cosmos in thought-provoking visual and sculptural renderings.

LOOK TO THE SKIES features the work of Lita Albuquerque; Josh Azzarella; Mark Bennett; Dennis Ekstedt; Penelope Umbrico; Cassandra C. Jones; and Lisa Stefanelli who each, in their own way, explore their own obsession and attraction to the magic of the last frontier.
