Intersect
Enquire
Mark Cowden
mixed media, edition: 1/20
1005 x 850mm (framed)
Commissioned for Socially Distanced Yet Creatively Connected, an exhibition in response to the global pandemic and inspired by our collective experience of lockdown.
Artist's statement:
My work is abstract, and as such is not intended to be representational. However I believe the subconscious influences of Lockdown can be seen in this work. “Intersect“ is quite different from my normally hard edged geometric works. I believe that this was influenced by the divergent, ambiguous and fluctuating information, and opinions circulating over the lockdown. These influences can be seen as the lines that converge to the “intersect” and then diverge again. The boundaries are soft & fuzzy like the information, and opinions. The background is reminiscent of the circular and zig zagging arguments that continued through the period. I repeat this work is abstract; it is intended to invite viewer participation; move from side to side, note how it changes, attach whatever meaning you wish, and expect these meanings to change over time.

About the Artist
Mark Cowden
Mark Cowden likes to reinvent himself every few years. Over the years he has worked in finance, as a pilot, owned a graphic design agency, and as brand manager for one of NZ’s fast growing start-ups. In his latest iteration as an artist he finds reinvention on an almost daily basis as he applies new and different ideas to his art.
"Mark’s work is driven by his fascination with the relationship between the artist, the artwork, and the viewer. What the artist sees and what the viewer sees are separated by time, geography, culture, personal perspective, and in the case of Mark’s Multiplanes, even the angle the artwork is viewed at."
