Mark Whalen, an artist with nearly 20 years in the field, has faced personal tragedy due to a fire in Altadena that resulted in the loss of his home. This event has impacted his artistic journey, leading to the creation of a new series of sculptures that delve into themes of humor and pain. In a podcast interview with Evan Pricco, Whalen discusses the influence of his experiences on his creative process and the narratives he constructs within his work.
Now it is time we are with him: after losing his home in the Altadena fire of January 2025... it felt like the right time.
We find the inspiration behind the world Whalen has created, the stream of consciousness and deeply investigative construction of the sculptures, the materials, the fun, the pain.
