Mark Horst’s paintings are at once simple and complex, depicting images reminiscent of film or video stills, degraded by hand in the same way that photographic images would be degraded by time. Whether the work is drawn for photographic sources, or simply a reminder of our point-and-shoot lives, one can’t help but be drawn to the formal aspects of the work, especially with Horst’s diptychs, where the viewer is practically challenged to compare the minute differences in the two subjects.
