It is with great pleasure that I announce trade #2 of the bARTer project. Below is a wonderful acrylic on paper piece from Mark Dixon, traded for Warren Craghead's collage:
untitled
acrylic on paper
10" x 12"
2001
Mark's portfolio web site can be viewed here and his blog (where he posts small works on paper and works in progress) here. Mark lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and has shown his work throughout eastern Canada. His paintings are in corporate and private collections in Canada, The United States, The United Kingdom, and The Netherlands. He has a MFA from Concordia University and a BFA from The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. He has recently started an online auction of small works on paper which can be viewed on his blog.
Though his work is fairly new to me, it appealed to me very much. It was difficult for us to settle on a piece to trade because so many of his fantastic paintings had already been sold. I'm more than pleased to have this painting though. I love its depth and rich colors.
If you would like to bARTer for Mark's painting*, please let me know via comment or email.
* Although the offer is extended now, I will have to wait until the collage arrives from Canada next week to go forward with the next round.
Nice trade JT. I'm impressed...

Denis,
I emailed you regarding this. It could be one of my paintings but I am not 100% sure.
Cheers,
Mark
