Mark Mennin (American, born 1960)

Mark Mennin was born in 1960 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. He earned his B.A. in 1982 from Princeton University. Mennin is known for his massive granite carvings, connecting the old tradition of stone carving to contemporary art. His pieces often contain a figural narrative—visually dealing with aspects of the body or hinting at the absence of the human form. He has exhibited nationally and internationally including: the Palazzo Paolina, Viareggio, Italy; Victoria Munroe Gallery, Miller Geisler Gallery and Marisa del Re Gallery, New York; Galerie Thomas Von Lintel, Munich; and Braunstein/Quay Gallery, San Francisco. Mennin’s work is in the collections of the deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, Massachusetts; the New Harmony Institute, Indiana; and the State University of New York, Staten Island.
