About
Lucian Mordecai is an artist currently working out of Maryville, TN. Mordecai is highly interested in the spaces we inhabit and how we interact with them. From making miniature spaces calling back to the turn of the century to large-scale drawings exploring distorted fantasy worlds, Mordecai gives space for the viewer to question what these miniature beings are like and where they have gone. Through these works, Mordecai asks the viewer to slow down, look, reconsider the world around them and how they choose to engage with it. Mordecai has so far been a part of the Through the Student Lens 2018 Exhibition, Winter Show 2018 Exhibition, Matters of Time, and has been awarded the Gund Family Scholarship.
This is Mars. Head of Operations and Naps. He is also the artist's cat. He got this position due to nepotism.
