BIOGRAPHY
Mario Marzan constructs delicate and ambiguous compositions as personal topographies. Based on scattered memories, his drawings and small sculptures suggest a narrative, taking place in a landscape tormented between order and disorder. Through references to the hurricanes that often plague islands and shape the architecture and landscape, Marzan’s work explores ideas of deconstruction and reconstruction.
Mario Marzan was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his MFA at Carnegie Mellon and BFA from Bowling Green State University.
