Marc Shanker: Paintings, Drawings, Prints

From the artist: My style evolved slowly out of thousands of drawings. I draw what I see: bicycles, flowers, signs, people, umbrellas, trees, the ocean. I also draw what I imagine. I made so many drawings that the process became instinctive. 

 

Over the years, my paintings have become more like my drawings. Images from the past emerge and are reinterpreted. In this way, my painting has become less formal, more improvisational and exploratory. 

 

Marc Shanker paints, draws, and makes prints and collages in Inwood. He is the founder of Gravity Free Press which publishes posters, broadsides, Artist Books, and collaborative works with poets. For more information, visit www.MarcShanker.com
