Mark Flood
Murk Fluid, 2011 Installation view, Zach Feuer Gallery, New York
text by JULIANA BALESTIN
Murk Fluid, 2011, shown at Zach Feuer Gallery, was Mark Flood’s second exhibition in New York. Flood hails from Houston, Texas. His show featured a series of colorful floral paintings with intricate lacelike surfaces and shimmering light, and a room-sized photo-collage made up of hundreds of images of Lindsay Lohan, outlining her successes and tribulations. In the middle of the pictures was one of Flood’s text paintings, with the words “call me” and a phone number. The detailing is complicated and well thought-out in the paintings and in the installation, while the subject matter of the images seems to suggest that there’s artificiality in nature as well as in celebrity.
