Mark Dean Veca has created a site specific work at the Instituto Cultural Cabañas that opened to the public November 27.
Veca’s signature style is widely recognized for its all-encompassing installations that surround the viewer and inspire a sense of awe. Revealing fantastical and at times humorous, aggressive, or sexual imagery with frenzy and patterned precision, his works often resemble a modernized interpretation of toile de jouy patterns.
Veca received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Otis College of Art and Design in 1985 and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. He is renowned for creating paintings, drawings, and installations that portray surreal cartoons, psychedelic landscapes and pop culture iconography, while also being inspired by long-established decorative motifs.
Veca’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States, Europe and Japan; and has been reviewed in numerous publications including The New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, Art Review, Juxtapoz and Flash Art. Among his many honors, Veca has received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship three times and was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in 2006.
