Mark Flood’s near mini-retrospective “The Hateful Years” opened this past Wednesday in the upper east-side gallery Luxembourg & Dayan. The five floors of the gallery are each devoted to separate bodies of work within the artist’s oeuvre. Starting on the ground floor with his well known lace paintings – the viewer moves chronologically backward in time through the various creative stages of Mark Flood’s self proclaimed “hateful” work. Exhibiting over 100 paintings, collages, sculptures, and mixed media works, this show redefines the scope and depth of Mark Flood’s vision as an artist.
