In Mark Greenwalt's drawings, his non-deterministic figures, through frequent cycles of forming, deforming, and reforming, evolve on surfaces parallel to the greater world in which nature and culture increasingly fuse in wonderful and terrifying ways. Greenwalt states, “I am simply reorganizing forms until some symbolic potential is suggested”. Free from context and ethics, Greenwalt explores facial asymmetries and drifting proportions combined with a classical lighting applied until the forms swell with sculptural volume.
Mark Greenwalt received his MA from Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, TX and his MFA from The Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Greenwalt has been a tenured professor with The College of the Mainland in Texas City, TX, since 2005. He has also taught at other educational institutions such as, the University of Houston, Rice University, and the Glassell School of Art. Greenwalt is one of five artists that was included in the exhibition, "Visual Pathology" (2018), at the Galveston Arts Center.
