THE BRAKE JOB CUT-OUTS:
Torch-Burned Steel Sculpture & Screens and Other Works
APRIL 21 ~ MAY 20, 2012
Viewing By Appointment Only ~ Please call 760.366.4712

From April 21st through May 20th Harrison House will be transformed into a whimsical wonderland of new figurative works by artist-in-residence Mark Bulwinkle. The installation/exhibition represents Mark Bulwinkle's signature style that he has developed over the past forty years and includes a flock of fantastical flying aluminum birds hanging from the ceiling, a forest of fanciful free-standing steel story-sculptures mounted on re-bar and brake discs, quirky steel cut desert varmints and character-driven steel screen cut-outs, along with collections of hydraulically-pressed stoneware tiles and digitally created and printed "faces" that are recognizable characters from our culture with a refinement reminiscent of ancient miniatures.

Mark Bulwinkle is a San Francisco Bay Area artist well known for his intricate flame-cut works in galvanized steel and aluminum. His previous career as a ships welder inspired him to pursue transferring the art of paper stenciling to thick steel plate using a burning torch. His gift for creating elaborate and complex designs brought him instant international recognition and led him to pursue his artistry full time. Mark's "Bulwinkleland" studio and home in West Oakland were recently featured in The New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/04/us/bulwinkleland.html?_r=1
