Mark Moore Fine Art is excited to unveil its latest online exhibition, “Allison Schulnik: Rejects, Misfits and their Landscapes – A Career Survey“. This exclusive ARTSY event showcases a curated collection of significant pieces spanning the past two decades of Schulnik’s career.
Allison Schulnik draws on historical images, outsider art traditions and holiday snapshots to construct paintings in which diverse subjects like naval battles, skulls, dying flowers, volcanoes, waterfalls and herds of wild horses become the subject for fantasy and imagination.
Schulnik is the daughter of an architect from the Bronx and a plein air painter from British Columbia, both of whom studied at Pratt Institute in the 1960’s. After studying and performing many forms of dance, including a long period of modern dance with Isaac’s, McCaleb & Dancers, she left San Diego for California Institute of the Arts. Combining the movement of dance with painting, Allison chose to study Experimental Animation and received her BFA in 2000. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally at venues including Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles, Black Dragon Society, Los Angeles, Bellwether Gallery, New York, Groeflin Maag Galerie, Basel, The Armory Show, New York, Rokeby Gallery, London, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. She has completed two award-winning experimental animated 16mm films that played at many film festivals internationally. Schulnik was just selcted as one of the ONES TO WATCH by ART REVIEW, March 2008 (Issue 20) and was featured in the LA TIMES article that appeared December 2, 2007 on the “45 Painters Under 45 You Should Know” that included both Ali Smith and Allison Schulnik from the Mark Moore Gallery – both artists are featured on the cover of the CALENDAR Section – in which critic Christopher Knight selected both of the artists as part of the impressive and acclaimed core of young artists that “Help Make the L.A. Art Scene”. Allison Schulnik lives and works in Los Angeles.
Schulnik says, “The bulk of my paintings are about love, death and “end of the world” chaos. I see my canvases as a theater stage where a ballet or dance is performed — sometimes choreographed, sometimes free form and spontaneous. The compositions often depict epic scenes — high seas disasters, stampeding horses, fiery eruptions, fantastical dramas and wondrous landscapes, while still attempting to reflect simple, expressive moments amongst creatures, which directly relate to human-like conditions. More recently I have allowed my imagination to revel in its own world — where thickly-sculpted oils, historical fact and blatant fiction collide to form images of tragedy, farce, and raw beauty.”

Jason Salavon History Painting (Origins/Emergence/Sapiens/Modernity), 2025 Archival print 73.5 x 42 inches Ed. 5 + 2 APs
Mark Moore Fine Art is excited to present an exclusive ARTSY online exhibition of Jason Salavon’s remarkable series, “History Paintings.”
In this innovative collection, Salavon merges historical storytelling, computational techniques, and a critical reimagining of encyclopedic knowledge through generative art. The “History Paintings” project encompasses an expansive narrative of 800 entries, depicting the cosmos’ history—balancing rigorous historical accounts with personal and idiosyncratic reflections.
Each entry is paired with descriptive text and unique generated imagery, showcased in a beautifully crafted hardcover Field Guide alongside four monumental archival prints: *Origins, Emergence, Sapiens,* and *Modernity.* These works collaboratively narrate significant epochs of cosmic evolution, natural history, and human civilization. Accompanying the prints are 800 dynamic video animations, generated from the same prompts, enhancing the overall experience with rich visual textures.
Salavon’s large print compositions seamlessly blend hundreds of generative elements, creating fluid visual tapestries that blur the lines between individual images, embodying both historical continuity and innovative experimentation.
At the core of this project is Salavon’s custom-built generative AI system, SPIM (Salavon’s Pathology Inducing Machine), which explores “off-manifold” visual terrains—areas of ambiguity and unpredictability—to generate striking and unexpected imagery.
By intertwining advanced AI methods, cultural research, and aesthetic inquiry, “History Paintings” engenders interdisciplinary dialogue between art, technology, and narratives of knowledge, inviting us to reflect on how contemporary technologies influence our understanding of history, memory, and visual culture.
Born in 1970 in Indianapolis and an MFA graduate from the Art Institute of Chicago, Jason Salavon has exhibited extensively across the globe, from prestigious institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the Smithsonian Institution. His works are part of significant public collections, and he was recognized as one of the “50 Under 50: The Next Most Collectible Artists” by Art + Auction Magazine in 2013. Currently, he resides and works in Chicago, IL.

Mark Bennett, Phyllis Lindstrom Minneapolis, MN, 2005 / Ink and colored pencil on vellum / 11 5/8 x 26 1/8 in. / COLLECTION OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART
Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisitions of six drawings by artist MARK BENNETT from his Fantasy TV Sitcom Series were just recently acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Since its inception in 1965, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has been devoted to collecting works of art that span both history and geography, in addition to representing Los Angeles’s uniquely diverse population. Today LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection that includes over 120,000 objects dating from antiquity to the present, encompassing the geographic world and nearly the entire history of art. Among the museum’s strengths are its holdings of Asian art, Latin American art, ranging from pre-Columbian masterpieces to works by leading modern and contemporary artists; and Islamic art, of which LACMA hosts one of the most significant collections in the world. A museum of international stature as well as a vital part of Southern California, LACMA shares its vast collections through exhibitions, public programs, and research facilities that attract over a million visitors annually, in addition to serving millions through digital initiatives, such as online collections, scholarly catalogues, and interactive engagement online. Situated in Hancock Park on over 20 acres in the heart of Los Angeles, LACMA is located between the ocean and downtown.
For the past 30 years, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bennett has made art firmly rooted in the collective American experience of television. His drawings and lithographs are “blueprints” of famous television houses from such classic sitcoms as The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch, and Perry Mason. Drawing these fictional dwellings from memory, Bennett documents the minutiae of the characters’ lives by constructing their environments with a painstaking level of detail. His floor plans narrate the American Dream, charting not only the architecture, but also the subtext of our culturally accepted models for living.
Unlike American Pop artists of the 1960s such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, who appropriated images from mass media as subjects for their work, Bennett has reconstructed spaces that were intended only to flicker on the screen. In labeling his seemingly straightforward blueprints with colorful details about the interiors, architecture, and inhabitants, he reflects on the idealized and stereotyped notions of American life as perpetuated by mass culture. He also makes us realize how often that these ideas are, in turn, mirrored in our own domestic architecture.
Mark Bennett has been included in over 3 dozen major museum and gallery group exhibitions, including a major show at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art, Washington, D.C. (titled “Mark Bennett: TV Sets and The Suburban Dream”; which travelled To Cleveland Center For Contemporary Art, Cleveland, Ohio; and the Aldrich Museum Of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut. Since his induction into the gallery in 1995, Bennett has been included in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including those at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.), Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (CT), Walker Art Center (MN) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA). His work has been acquired for the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art (NY), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA); Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington D.C.); The Honolulu Museum of Art (Hawaii); Orange County Museum of Art (Newport Beach, CA); The West Collection (Oaks, PA); and the Portland Art Museum (OR), among others.
In keeping with this theme, Mark Moore Fine Art is very pleased to present an Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition of Mark Bennett: The Original Drawings as part of our new ARTSY LEGACY SERIES of exhibitions. These are the artists and shows over the last 15 years on ARTSY that have been the most acclaimed and the most viewed by their patrons and art critics.

IMAGE: Penelope Umbrico, Sunset Portraits from 13,243,857 Sunset Pictures on Flickr 10/8/13, 2013 / C-prints / Dimension variable. Gift of the Mark and Hilarie Moore Collection, 2013.010 / COLLECTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART
Penelope Umbrico (b. 1957, Philadelphia, PA) uses photo-sharing and consumer-to-consumer websites, mail-order catalogues, and image archives as expansive resources to create installations, video, and digital media works. Sifting through images on the internet using search engines for subjects like TV screens, mirrors, sunsets, and the moon, her work explores the production and consumption of images—and individual and collective identities—with attention to the technologies that both shape and are shaped by these forces.
One of Umbrico’s most iconic works, Sunset Portraits from 13,243,857 Sunset Pictures on Flickr 10/8/13 (2013), is a series of appropriated photographs capturing people standing in front of sunsets, sourced from Flickr (once considered one of the largest photo-sharing websites), a project she began in 2010. At that time, camera technology prioritized exposing for the brightness of the sun, often rendering the individuals in the foreground as silhouettes, thereby erasing the subjectivity of the individual.
Installed at the Avenue of the Arts Gallery at OCMA, Umbrico’s Sunset Portraits contemplates the flood of images in contemporary life while offering a meditation on collective experience through a universal theme. In an era that emphasizes individuality and highlights differences, while often finding conflict in those distinctions, the work presents a strikingly tranquil vision. Like the silhouettes in Umbrico’s work, we find ourselves in a state of solitude while simultaneously sharing in the wonder that unites us all.
Dive into the profound artistry of Dimitri Kozyrev in his latest online exhibition, “Recent Work,” where he seeks to understand and manage change through his evocative creations. 🖌️✨
Kozyrev’s paintings serve as visual memoirs, capturing fleeting moments and inviting viewers to reflect on the intricate relationship between time and memory. His unique perspective—shaped by his upbringing in St. Petersburg during the remnants of Stalin’s regime—offers a compelling commentary on the evolution of both warfare and art.
As he poignantly expresses, “Just as the military avant-garde has been ‘lost’ due to changing methods of warfare, so too has the avant-garde in contemporary art.” This body of work pays homage to suppressed movements like Constructivism while illustrating the resilience and healing power of nature. 🌿💫
Join us on ARTSYand experience how Kozyrev’s artistry not only revisits scarred landscapes but also celebrates transformation and resilience.
🌟✨ Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents **“A Never Finished Light”** featuring the captivating works of Texas-based artist **Ken Craft**. This exhibit draws inspiration from a chapter in Richard Dawkins’ *The Greatest Show on Earth* and reflects influences from legendary artists such as Courbet, Richter, Herriman, and Guston.
🎨Ken Craft (b. 1967, New Mexico) is a Dallas-based painter who primarily works with oil and watercolor. His art marries representation with conceptual themes, exploring personal and natural history, evolution, and the universal struggles of life. Craft often infuses his pieces with comic book characters and narrative elements, inviting viewers into a rich storytelling experience.
💬 Ken shares, “These works are loosely inspired by a snippet from Dawkins’ book, illustrating the evolution of species through generations—such as female rabbits. Each generation bears resemblance to its predecessors, yet if you trace back far enough, the lineage diverges dramatically.”
✨ “Within my paintings, you’ll find echoes of rabbits amidst clouds, rock formations, and the night sky. They serve as reminders of our interconnectedness over deep time. Each fleeting image prompts us to contemplate our place in the natural world. As we navigate these challenging times, I find solace in exploring natural history and reinforcing our bond with all living beings.”
🌿 Ken Craft’s impressive portfolio includes numerous exhibitions across the country and accolades such as the Top Choice prize at Artspace 111 and a residency at MASS MoCA. He was also featured in New American Painting’s #138, highlighting the Western United States.
