Daniel Buettner and John-Mark Schlink

Cool colors and sparse compositions link the two artists exhibiting together at this year-old artists’ collective tucked away in a corner of the quickly gentrifying Old St. Anthony section of northeast Minneapolis. John-Mark Schlink’s work is based around his interest in architectural forms, most obviously in his studies of Minneapolis’ downtown buildings, which reduce the skyline to geometric shapes and smears of color. But the majority of his paintings here are indoor studies of a peacefully Hopperesque vibe—anonymous vacant apartments, bare walls and floors empty of people and furniture. Daniel Buettner, meanwhile, is inspired by his schoolteaching job, embracing the uncontrived simplicity of the elementary school student. Fractured spaces filled with mathematical symbols and formulae are dotted here and there with childlike drawings of globes, giraffes and racecars.
