Chris Mars recently added some new work to his website, and a list of all the shows he will be participating in this year. Posted a few days ago he showed some ceramic works in the “Mad Potters Tea Party” (featured), has work on view at the “Suggestivism” show at the Grand Central Art Center, and coming in the next few months will show at the MOMA in New York, Sacred Machine in Tucson, AZ, MondoPop in Rome, and at Copro Gallery in Santa Monica. It’s always exciting to see new work by such a talented artist like Chris Mars, each painting reminds me why I became interested in his art in the first place. Check out his homepage for the rest of the new art and news on upcoming shows.
