Behind The Exhibition: Mark Bryce: Love & War
Join artist Mark Bryce for a virtual discussion exploring how his exhibition Love & War sparks a contemporary dialog touching on universal topics such as love, violence, human frailty, and loneliness. Hosted by OMA’s exhibition manager and registrar Katie Dolgov, this program will tackle the technical complexities of realist painting and investigate the contemporary ideas and ideologies that influence and inspire Bryce’s virtuosic paintings. This look into Bryce’s distinctive artistic language is sure to reveal a new perspective on the vast possibilities of painting itself.
