Mark Perlman's Comes and Goes exhibition represents a culmination of over 50 years of painting, showcasing a body of work that emphasizes an inner search for visual and conceptual language. The exhibition features ten paintings created over the past year, characterized by heavily worked surfaces with oil and wax on panel. Perlman's 20-year meditation practice informs his process, creating works that radiate light from their centers with calligraphic elements representing the collective energy of mind and body. The paintings suggest figurative elements within dissolving centers of light and offer a fresh take on the gestural mark-making Perlman has been known for throughout his career, serving as a meditative reflection on human consciousness.
