The Gallery at 764 West Hosts Mark M. Nelson – Solo Art Show and Sale “New Leaves”
The Gallery at 764 West Hosts “New Leaves” a solo art exhibition for Mark M. Nelson, opening on April 17 and running through May 18. Artist reception is on April 17 from 5 to 9 PM.
New Braunfels, TX, March 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Mark M Nelson’s solo exhibition ”New Leaves” includes watercolors, mixed media and metal sculpture. In his studio in New Braunfels, Texas Mark M. Nelson crosses and interconnects the mediums of his choice, line drawings and sculpted metal. Mark obtained his Associates Degree from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in sculpture and printmaking. He attended Dunwoody Technical Institute for structural knowledge of metal.
"Hey! Wait a minute....
I'm trying to draw that."
Drawing on a regular basis to stay in touch with his art, Mark says his sketchbook is a journal, "a way to touch base with the visual side of life." Over time, Mark has captured over three hundred musicians during live performances, in pen and ink and watercolor, from bars, coffeehouses and cafes all over the United States. With sketchbook and watercolors, Mark is a regular at Gruene Hall in Gruene, Texas. Many of Mark's sketchbook pages are in the collections of musicians and tourists and locals. Originals and prints from Gruene Hall as well as metal sculpture will be available during the “New Leaves” show” at The Gallery at 764 West.
Mark uses forge, anvil and torch in creating his sculptural works. He allows the material to dictate the form from which each piece uniquely arrives. Making line drawings on sculpted metal, he uses the positive and negative space within each piece. Nelson uses discarded automotive sheet metal; therefore each piece he creates has the technology of a different era in its construction. Mark has proudly provided architectural elements for individuals, foundations and businesses from New York to California. His flags, made from old car parts, are in collections all over the United States.
Mark M. Nelson's work has been on display at the San Antonio Airport Love Texas Gallery, Ironwood Industries Gallery in Austin, and at Buck Pottery and Lone Star Country Goods in Gruene, Texas. Currently, the sculptures and handmade welded gates permanently displayed at the former site of the New Braunfels Museum of Art, now home to the Gruene River Grill, are Mark M. Nelson creations. More examples of his work can be seen during the “New Leaves” show and sale at the Gallery at 764 West.
