Mark Bennett's (b. 1956, Tennessee) whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic; the purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect's design. His works are both pleasingly nostalgic and vaguely disconcerting in their premonition of a society obsessed by television and celebrity culture.

His works are both pleasingly nostalgic and vaguely disconcerting in their premonition of a society obsessed by television and celebrity culture. Since his induction into the gallery in 1995, Bennett has been included in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including those at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (D.C.), Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art (CT), Walker Art Center (MN) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA). His work has been acquired for the permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art (NY), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Corcoran Gallery of Art (DC), West Collection (PA), and the Portland Art Museum (OR), among others. Earning reverence from both critics and collectors alike, Bennett has been coined a master of nostalgia and social evaluation, acting as "the most earnest of his generation of West Coast artists drawing on popular culture" (Grady T. Turner, Art in America).

For the past 25 years, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bennett has made art firmly rooted in the collective American experience of television. His drawings and lithographs are "blueprints" of famous television houses from such classic sitcoms as The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch, and Perry Mason. Drawing these fictional dwellings from memory, Bennett documents the minutiae of the characters' lives by constructing their environments with a painstaking level of detail. His floor plans narrate the American Dream, charting not only the architecture, but also the subtext of our culturally accepted models for living.

Mark Bennett is one of the most important and original emerging artists working today. His vision of art in the 21st Century and his constructed realities derived from television are as in tune to our pop culture now as Warhol and Lichtenstein were in the early 60’s when they were inspired by movies and comic books (the television of their day). Emily Gest in the September 10, 1995 issue of Los Angeles Magazine perhaps sums up the work best when she noted: “Bennett, a 38-year-old art teacher cum draftsman cum Beverly Hills letter carrier, has been drawing floor plans of TV homes and offices since he was 10, sketching in front of the tube in his Tennessee home. He drew Rob and Laura’s house, then Ward and June’s, eventually moving on to the Jetsons, the Bunkers, the Stephens, the Ricardos (all three of their residences), Perry Mason, and the Cunninghams. “I wanted to be a part of those TV families,” says Bennett, who lives in what he describes as a 1956 “time warp” in Los Feliz.” His research consists of watching as many episodes as possible; the actual drafting takes anywhere from a day to a week. It’s the details that Bennett loves: the precise location of Wednesday Addams' play graves in the front yard; the hall Lucy uses to get to the Mertzes' apartment; where Ward and June Cleaver kept their firewood behind the garage, and even where Sheriff Andy Taylor’s property line ended. He lists items that would never appear on a traditional floor plan, including phone numbers (Mary Richards' is 555-2312), models of cars in the driveway or the seating arrangement around the dining room table…” Since his first show with our gallery, Mark Bennett has been included in over 3 dozen major museum and gallery group exhibitions, including a major show at the Corcoran Gallery Of Art, Washington, D.C. (titled “Mark Bennett: TV Sets and The Suburban Dream”; which traveled To Cleveland Center For Contemporary Art, Cleveland, Ohio; and the Aldrich Museum Of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield, Connecticut). In the last twelve months alone, Mark Bennett was featured in shows at Mark Moore Gallery (Santa Monica), “The Effects of Fords on Barbara” new collage pieces; Kent Gallery (New York); Nevada Institute of Contemporary Art (Las Vegas); Walker Art Center (Minneapolis); and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, “Made in California: 1900 - 2000”.

Tennessee-born artist Mark Bennett (b. 1956) is thrilled to announce his latest exhibition, "Blueprints of Hollywood: Mark Bennett's Architectural Drawings of Iconic Movie Homes." This collection of new drawings continues his exploration of popular culture and nostalgia, showcasing his signature style of creating detailed schematics of environments for dramatic action. Bennett's artwork has long been praised for its ability to transport viewers back to beloved films and TV shows. In this series, Bennett presents blueprints of famous movie homes, including those from Gone With The Wind, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and Rosemary's Baby. These iconic dwellings are brought to life through Bennett's skilled hand, evoking feelings of nostalgia and familiarity in the viewer. For example, his rendering of the spiral staircase in "Home of Norma Desmond" immediately brings to mind the iconic imagery of Gloria Swanson's final scene in Sunset Boulevard, inviting viewers to relive their own personal reactions to the film. Bennett's works are not only pleasingly nostalgic, but also offer a commentary on society's infatuation with celebrity and pop culture. Through his blueprint lithographs and pen and ink drawings, he combines the whimsical and fantastical with the logical and analytical, creating a powerful juxtaposition that leaves a lasting impression. As Grady T. Turner of ART IN AMERICA states, "Bennett has been coined a master of nostalgia and social evaluation, acting as 'the most earnest of his generation of West Coast artists drawing on popular culture'." Since joining Mark Moore Fine Art in 1995, Bennett's work has been exhibited in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including prestigious institutions such as the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Walker Art Center, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His work has been acquired for the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (NY), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Laguna Art Museum (CA), Crocker Art Museum (CA), Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, University of Nevada Las Vegas (NV), Museum of Fine Art Houston (TX), Corcoran Gallery of Art (DC), West Collection (PA), McNay Art Museum (TX), The Getty Museum (CA), and the Portland Art Museum (OR), among others.

This collection of new drawings continues his exploration of popular culture and nostalgia, showcasing his signature style of creating detailed schematics of environments for dramatic action. Bennett's artwork has long been praised for its ability to transport viewers back to beloved films and TV shows. In this series, Bennett presents blueprints of famous movie homes, including those from Gone With The Wind, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and Rosemary's Baby. These iconic dwellings are brought to life through Bennett's skilled hand, evoking feelings of nostalgia and familiarity in the viewer. For example, his rendering of the spiral staircase in "Home of Norma Desmond" immediately brings to mind the iconic imagery of Gloria Swanson's final scene in Sunset Boulevard, inviting viewers to relive their own personal reactions to the film. Bennett's works are not only pleasingly nostalgic, but also offer a commentary on society's infatuation with celebrity and pop culture. Through his blueprint lithographs and pen and ink drawings, he combines the whimsical and fantastical with the logical and analytical, creating a powerful juxtaposition that leaves a lasting impression. As Grady T. Turner of ART IN AMERICA states, "Bennett has been coined a master of nostalgia and social evaluation, acting as 'the most earnest of his generation of West Coast artists drawing on popular culture'." Since joining Mark Moore Fine Art in 1995, Bennett's work has been exhibited in over three dozen significant museum and group exhibitions, including prestigious institutions such as the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Walker Art Center, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His work has been acquired for the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (NY), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Orange County Museum of Art (CA), Laguna Art Museum (CA), Crocker Art Museum (CA), Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, University of Nevada Las Vegas (NV), Museum of Fine Art Houston (TX), Corcoran Gallery of Art (DC), West Collection (PA), McNay Art Museum (TX), The Getty Museum (CA), and the Portland Art Museum (OR), among others.

Mark Bennett's (b. 1956, Tennessee) whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic; the purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect's design. His works are both pleasingly nostalgic and vaguely disconcerting in their premonition of a society obsessed by television and celebrity culture.

Turner, Art in America).
