Michael J.B. Black
Informed by a late Modern interpretation of abstraction, Michael’s current practice typically moves between painterly and post-painterly interpretations of cultural history and biomorphic forms. Natural forms, the age and patina of old walls, scraps of manuscripts, etc. provide the sources for the textures and compositions he uses in his work. Whatever the source, Michael attempts to balance the pre-planned with the immediacy of the painting process itself, so that the images created are able to convey universal themes as well as to allow for variations in interpretation.
