Mark Harrington

“My paintings challenge the way in which the vertical dimension is perceived and awaken a feeling of free, unbounded space.”

The American painter Mark Harrington works on the theme of reduction and repetition of horizontal lines and structures, creating fascinating compositions of unlimited width. In his studio near Munich, he uses various tools to make tactile tracks in the layers of the pasty, still moist acrylic paint. Mark Harrington has been exhibiting throughout Europe and the US in galleries and museums since the 1980s. His works are represented in numerous collections.
