{"title":"Mark Grotjahn","description":"\u003cp\u003eMark Grotjahn (b. 1968) is an American artist whose practice moves between painting, drawing, and printed matter. He is best known for his Butterfly paintings — large-scale works built from radiating lines converging on multiple vanishing points — and for a sustained engagement with the formal logic of perspective, symmetry, and optical pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLess visible but equally considered is his interest in vernacular graphics: the handmade sign, the price tag, the commercial announcement. His Sign Exchange works and related projects treat the visual language of local commerce as a found system — one with its own conventions, economies, and aesthetic force.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eK\u0026amp;H Liquors\u003c\/em\u003e, published by Karma in 2015, sits within this strand of the practice.
