Mark Waldman is a contemporary assemblage and kinetic artist whose work blurs the line between dark humor, social commentary, and mechanical curiosity. Combining found objects, vintage materials, and hand-built components, Waldman creates interactive sculptures and contraptions that provoke both laughter and unease. His pieces often evoke the aesthetics of retro carnival games, coin-operated machines, and industrial relics, reimagined with a satirical edge that explores themes of mortality, vice, and the absurdity of modern life.
From skull-shaped grenades to mischievous mechanical boxes and satirical “machines” promising productivity or escape, Waldman’s works invite viewers to engage physically and emotionally, often confronting them with a mirror of their own anxieties and desires. Each piece functions as both object and experience—a miniature theater of irony, wit, and existential playfulness.
Waldman’s art has been exhibited in contemporary galleries and alternative art spaces across the country, earning a dedicated following among collectors of kinetic and lowbrow art. His work resonates with fans of assemblage, outsider mechanics, and darkly comedic pop surrealism
