Mark Sengbusch: Softer Lines

One River School of Art + Design, Port Jefferson, NY

"I was trained as a painter but today I make sculptures. Makes sense. Feels right. I realized Architecture and design had been a huge influence in my life. All the way back to attending a Louis Kahn designed Unitarian Church in the 90’s in Rochester, NY and collecting Moonbeams pencils in elementary school. 

 

I fell into the world of Painting, which occupies a middle ground between Architecture and Design. I am slowly bridging the gaps between the three disciplines. Here’s two extreme examples. Working at the Abu Dhabi Louvre I handled ancient Illuminated Manuscripts including a 1,000 year old Koran. Unbelievably delicate detail. And on the opposite end, I made a pilgrimage to Doha, Qatar to experience Richard Serra’s East West/West East. 4 giant steal monoliths in the middle of the desert. Massive, timeless totems." – Mark Sengbusch
