Here are some kind words from an articulate painter/story teller friend of mine:
Mark Horst carries a quiver full of
painterly gifts. His startling work reveals wild pinpricks of the eternal,
often in the subtlest of images. Make no mistake, the paintings sometimes hold
our feet to the flame-a door between a collectively understood image and some
new paint-spirit that comes hurtling through. Not always a comfortable
experience.
That door is also a gateway between the
tacit and the explicit-his sheer feel and technique is obvious, but there are
other energies at work here too, some ancient condition of the soul.
Horst is one of the few new painters to
hold the paradox of tradition and innovation within him- there is brilliance
here.
