This is personal. Explicit...
Mark Wiener, with whom I live and work, has created a new virtual catalog of his intense abstract paintings and drawings, which he has titled "Explicit," - which refers to the title of his last catalog, "Naked." And while it may seem provocative taken out of context (as I did to create the teaser), it is actually a serious and sincere expression of his process, of an artist's necessary exploration of the bare elements that comprise the complex work in order to re-energize and recombine them to explore and deepen their expression of life in his paintings.
