Mark Sengbusch's (b. 1979, Ravenna, OH) work is inspired by simple toys, Japanese wood joinery, the arts and crafts movement, and brutalist architecture. He describes the sensibility of his work as “Pop meets Folk.” His recent shows include group exhibitions at The Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland, OR and Studio E Gallery in Seattle, WA; a two-person show at Cristin Tierney Gallery; and a solo exhibition at Marvin Gardens Annex in Ridgewood, NY. He received his MFA in Painting from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2008 and has participated in residencies at Byrdcliffe Arts Colony and Vermont Studio Center. The artist has also exhibited with Bushwick's Transmitter Gallery, Ortega y Gasset Projects in Brooklyn, Real Tinsel Gallery in Milwaukee, David Klein Gallery in Detroit, Hilde in Los Angeles, and K&L Museum in Seoul, South Korea. Represented by Cristin Tierney Gallery, Sengbusch lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
