Mark Bennion

Over the past 25 years Mark Bennion (b.1948  Seattle, Washington) has developed a unique painting process, which he calls fresco. Using oil, plaster and paper on a panel on canvas, his work shows a contemporary edge and a pallet of it own, yet it seems like we are looking at fragments of a Lascaux painting background. 

 “There is a connection that we all share. It is life… and the strength and certainty of our place in the world. My work has always been about the uncovering of an ancient innocence. It is about a simple geometry that interacts with the changing world that is around us and is within us…..” Mark Bennion
