Mark Gleason was born in 1962 in Greenwich, CT, and has been creating visual art since childhood. He studied art at Syracuse University, and he enjoys the private act of painting, as well as the public process of being an educator. Gleason’s psychically charged mythical realism focuses on figures and liminal spaces in our increasingly fragile environment. His animals and individuals explore connections and emphasize emotional meaning through pose, composition, and lighting. Elements of fire, water, earth, and sky feature prominently in his work, and he also relates these to his color palette. Drawing on approaches and references from literature, music, philosophy, ecology, and the figurative old masters, Gleason’s oil paintings are at once visceral, austere, mischievous, and absurd. Mark lives with his wife and teaches high school art in the San Francisco Bay area.
