Mark Stock- HOLLYWOOD: UNCOVERED

Currently at Lora Schlesinger Gallery, Mark Stock’s show is built around a film noir-like story. Images of famous Hollywood figures are embedded in paintings of the Hollywood sign, in another a woman is digging up a mysterious box, and trompe l’oleil paintings of postcards and notes taped to chalkboards are on another wall of the gallery.

Mark Stock has his own connection to Hollywood- his paintings have appeared in films and he also created a poster for the Telluride film festival.
