katsea gallery presents "Stories & Prayers," a solo exhibition by artist, poet and curator Markus. This show features works created by the artist over the last 9 years, including pieces never yet shown and art made specifically for this event. In addition to the sculptures and paintings of "Stories & Prayers," guests can also view over thirty works by the artist that are part of katsea gallery's permanent collection. Markus creates abstract sculptures from wood, metal, concrete, glass and found objects, and his paintings are informed by street art, cubism and abstract expressionism. The opening reception will feature a short, prose reading by the artist along with music from Rodney Henry of the Glenmont Popes and Dangerously Delicious Pies.
