Also showing at Baldwin Gallery is our second show with Los Angeles artist Mark Licari. Licari’s drawings and works on paper pulse with expressionistic energy, infusing artifacts of the everyday with an edgy intensity. Licari’s work frequently celebrates the individual’s heroic defiance of an absurd contemporary pastoral. The things you own end up owning you.
Mark Licari was born in 1975 in Atlanta, GA. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, and received his MFA from University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA.
