Mark Bulwinkle 1970s Ceramic Tile

A 1970s ceramic tile by the American artist Mark Bulwinkle (born 1946). This ceramic piece depicts the face of a robot with rectangular mouth, round eyes and nose, and accented with black dots and lines. The tile is mounted on a black wooden background and has a black wooden frame.  Born in Waltham, Massachusetts, Bulwinkle studied at the University of Pittsburgh as well as the San Francisco Art Institute. He learned welding while living in San Francisco and worked as an industrial welder at Bethlehem Ship Yards until he became a full time artist in the 1980s. Bulwinkle is considered part of the West Coast Funk movement, an art movement that was in reaction to abstract expressionism and its non-objectivity.    Measurements: 5” W x 6” H x 1” D (frame); 2.5” W x 3” H (tile).
