Start: an Art Gallery too

Art by Mark VonRosenstiel Coinciding with coming Monday’s Start event, Design Kompany is showing artworks by Mark VonRosenstiel, a math/tech/street artist who’s work has shown across the country as well as in various cafés and galleries locally (you might have spotted his miniature painting at Smith, currently a favorite hang out of Upper Cap Hill hipsters, on permanent display, or his work on a flyer for Imagine Capitol Hill event earlier this year).

He was a guest speaker at our Dream Kitchen event back in June. During his presentation, he talked mainly of his use of computer technologies to explore fascinating facets of mathematics and how they shape our lives. The conversation then turned way geeky, which was fun, but Mark has a completely different side that he’s equally enthusiastic about. It was over his love of guerrilla street art (aka graffiti) — a more low-tech version of ‘interactive’ art — that he and I bonded with initially. His sculpture and paintings are whimsical, inviting and warm (a good contrast to more stark, menacing stereotype image of graffiti art), and true to the street roots, casual in presentation.

We will have several large format paintings, as well as a handful of cast-concrete sculptures on hand Monday. Some of them will be on sale. Could this be a start of another run for a Design Kompany gallery? Who knows what the future holds, or what our new boss has in plan. But this one is a one-day-only show, so be sure to come check it out!
