By Mark Yearwood
"A Journey for the eyes and mind" that is how native Oklahoman Mark Yearwood hopes viewers perceive his structural acrylic paintings. Largely a self-taught artist, Yearwood has utilized almost 30 years of experience in graphic arts to develop into a recognized creator of stand-out original artwork. The unique abstract pieces combine linear design with earthy influences.
Yearwood's pieces hint at the patterns of rocks and other shapes found in nature. Vivid texture and designs are structured to convey the connection between nature and man-made items. Dimension is then created using a palette knife and other paint-application tools. His choice of color for each piece is deliberate and designed to convey a very specific reaction.
Yearwood believes abstract art requires a viewer to ask themselves, "What am I feeling?" and enjoys being a part of that interactive experience.
Yearwood creates in his studio located one hour West of Oklahoma City, OK.
