In the 2010s, Mark Grotjahn's art continued to evolve, demonstrating his profound engagement with the medium of painting and sculpture, as well as his exploration of form, color, and perspective. This decade was marked by significant exhibitions and the expansion of his artistic repertoire, including the 50 Kitchens series which was first exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) from May 20 to August 19, 2018. The series, which started in 2013 and concluded in 2018, consisted of over fifty chromatic drawings exploring pairs of radiating colors, such as Tuscan Red and Chartreuse, or Grass Green and Canary Yellow, creating a prismatic display. This work not only alludes to artists interested in color, light, and optics, like Wassily Kandinsky and the Op art painters of the 1960s, but also incorporates elements from earlier drawings, seamlessly integrating them into new compositions​ (LACMA)​. During this period, Grotjahn's work was included in several notable exhibitions that highlighted his contributions to contemporary art. A Dark Hymn: Highlights from the Hill Collection at the Hill Art Foundation in New York, The Milton and Sheila Fine Collection at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, and Ecstatic Selections from the Hammer Contemporary Collection at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, are just a few examples where his work was showcased alongside other contemporary masters​ (Gagosian)​. Additionally, Circus Circus at Kunstverein Freiburg in Germany was Grotjahn’s first solo exhibition in the country, demonstrating his adeptness at melding abstraction and figuration, a hallmark of his style that has captivated audiences and critics alike​ (Gagosian)​. His first comprehensive museum survey in the United States took place at the Aspen Art Museum, covering works from the late 1990s to the early 2010s, including his Perspective and Butterfly series as well as expressive Face series and Mask sculptures​ (Gagosian)​. Throughout the decade, Grotjahn's work has continued to attract attention and acclaim, underscoring his significant place in the contemporary art world. His art, characterized by its dynamic interplay between various forms of abstraction and figuration, and his innovative use of color and perspective, ensures that his work remains a vital contribution to the dialogue around the possibilities of painting and sculpture in the 21st century.
