Marc Horowitz

Marc Horowitz is a Los Angeles-based artist whose multifaceted practice spans painting, sculpture, video, installation, performance, photography, and social practice. Equal parts postmodern and post-internet, his work collapses distinctions between mediums while flattening hierarchies of culture, politics, relationality, and history. The result is a diverse yet cohesive visual universe that reflects contemporary life’s complexity, blending high and low cultural references with a sharp awareness of systems of value and meaning.

Horowitz combines traditional drawing and painting techniques with commercial photography and new media, creating works that interrogate entertainment, class, commerce, failure, success, and personal meaning. His interdisciplinary approach often merges conceptual rigor with humor and accessibility, inviting viewers to question the structures that shape everyday experience while engaging with the emotional and economic realities of modern existence.

At the age of seventeen, Horowitz attended Indiana University Bloomington, where he studied Business Marketing and Microeconomics, an academic foundation that continues to inform his critical engagement with commerce and value systems. He later pursued his artistic training at the San Francisco Art Institute, focusing on painting, before completing a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Southern California in 2012. During his time at USC, he studied under influential artists including Charlie White, Sharon Lockhart, Evan Holloway, and Frances Stark, whose diverse practices helped shape his interdisciplinary approach.

Horowitz has presented solo exhibitions at a range of international galleries and institutions, including Johannes Vogt, Ever Gold [Projects], China Art Objects, Depart Foundation, Bank Gallery, Mannerheim Gallery, and Coma Gallery, among others, establishing a dynamic and evolving presence within the contemporary art world.
