Mark Sturkenboom

Sturkenboom delivers absolute statements through fierce intention, careful planning, and a purposeful energy that proliferates in his will to express. Throughout all of this he manages to balance a visual cadence between the absurd and a sharp sense of humor.
He welcomes the viewer to casually slip into his conceptual narrative.

Memory is prevalent in his line of work, throughout his entire oeuvre is the ability to preserve a moment in a state of crystal clarity. Memory is messy, it is flavored by myriad personal influences. Memory changes, morphing with age and experience,
fading into personal fictions, diluting into deep well of life’s experience.

Sturkenboom works against the entropic process, realizing his ideas with clean lines,
a sensitive palette, careful mechanisms that resist the temptation of clutter and confusion.

He realizes single memories with exacting intention.
