Mark Behme - Art Guitars
Mark Behme’s Art guitars, now showing at Neptune Gallery.
Artist’s note: ”While my current flights-of-fancy tend to veer off into a comic gravitas, I repeat my intentions to incorporate the viewer in an interactive process. These works extend my oeuvre, “Toys of Chance”, in which interactivity invites discovery of hidden elements and puzzles. Things which may not completely be what they seem to be. Color, in hard enamel, plays a large role, applied to carved wood.
Playful aspects take on a more functional role with a new collection of themed guitars. This is a natural progression for me because of the logistical and engineered requirements for building musical instruments; and my interest in pop music genres.
This new collection continues my interest in surrealism and symbolism utilizing the figure to make new allegories expressing mood, emotion, attitude, and a contemporary outlook on man’s relation to himself and others.”
