Mark Horton: the City - Viewpoints May 15, 2009

This exhibition, 'The City - Viewpoints,' reflects Horton's continued interest in the urban landscape as a point of departure for his paintings. His current work depicts perspectives of cities that hover between iconic and representational. His use of unusual and distinct color palettes and rhythmic patterning evokes the tempo of city life. These urban landscapes transcend the actual spaces and architecture and are transformed into multi-layered abstractions.
