MARK LAWRENCE STAFFORD

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Mark Lawrence Stafford interjects models of contemplation into a conversation typically dominated by physicists and spiritualists concerning the relationship between our consciousness and the cosmos. Focusing on how the discipline of art informs our perception of the shape of reality and blends divergent theories related to space, form, perception, identity, and being to unfold the phenomena left unexplained by the conceptual frameworks devised by conjecture mathematics, religions, and our explored psychologies.  His multidisciplinary dialog navigates our reality, allowing his paints and materials to resonate as observable universes. 

Born in Anchorage, Alaska, and living in New York City, he has shown his work at SLAG, Fredman Benda, Black and White Gallery, Exit Art, SCOPE, FOCUS, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Yellowstone Museum of Art, and has placed work in multiple private art collections.
