Mark McDowell (Born 1954) "Rocket On Green Planet" Prismacolor Pencil on Birch Panel. Mark McDowell creates vibrantly colored still-life paintings that, through the use of puns and metaphor, construct a narrative social commentary. McDowell has often depicted objects taken from contemporary culture, often focusing on themes related to sideshows and the circus big top. McDowell received a BFA from Pennsylvania State University in 1976, moving to Arizona soon after. Over the last twenty-seven years Mc Dowell has had over twenty five solo exhibitions and numerous group exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the United States. His works have been commissioned by McDonald's International, Absolut Vodka, Harkins Theatres, Circus Flora, and many other corporations and private collectors. Receiving awards from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Museum of Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1998 he was named Artist of the Year by the Scottsdale Cultural Council. In the fall of 2001 the Midwest Museum of American Art in Indiana organized a twenty-year retrospective of McDowell's work.
