Mark is an artist in residence at Nancy Toomey Gallery. He has exhibited his incredible work in countless public and private collections both nationally and internationally over the last 40 years.
From Nancy Toomey's website:
"Panel, rather than canvas, has long been Perlman's medium of choice. Thickened by encaustic, the surfaces are distressed and layered, records of covering and uncovering, image and field, dark and light, rough and smooth. Working on many paintings at once, he develops a surface with the wax while inscribing a general form based on informed instinct that develops over the time of the painting. He spends hours with a small razor and eliminates all the unnecessary marks and noise that might appear to compete with the gestalt of each painting. This editing is paramount in making a final decision as to when a work is complete. The viewer is then invited to make their own discoveries hidden in the deep views of color and line, scrapes and scratches, that energize the surface of each painting."
