Mark Emerson
Twist and Shout


June 2 to July 5, 2025

Mark Emerson’s vibrant paintings combine rhythm, color, and pattern in dynamic and, often, bewitching ways. Twisting arrangements of shapes bewilder and delight with their rhythmic vocabulary before coming to a satisfying resolution. The paintings come alive with an energy that will make you want to Twist and Shout!

”I have always been aware of rhythm. The rhythm(s) within us, the rhythm of our immediate environment and rhythm of the cosmos. It is simple to recognize rhythm as it relates to music. I attempt to enlist the elements of audible rhythm and translate those elements to painting. The repetition of shapes, values and hues are integral components of this expression.” — Mark Emerson
