About the Item
This 40" x 30" acrylic and alkyd on canvas painting, 'Vuja De,' by Paul Micich is from the artist's 'Paper Airplane' series. A headless black coat wearing figure stands in the forefront and middle of a red color background. At the collar of the coat is an upward explosion of white paper airplanes.
"oh no
not me
not you
we have our plan
the path is plain to see
we’ll stick to it
it all adds up
I’M SURE
…I’ll just take a moment
Can a coat have a gesture?
Can it have a sense of dimension with monochrome brush strokes on a flat canvas?
Can a flat red ground help bring that illusion to life?
What is the perspective in a piece of folded paper?
What kind of shadows would those pieces of paper make?
All these ingredients are familiar.
Are they enough?" -- Paul Micich
"I was a musician before I was an artist. It informs all my work. There’s that place between the necessity of discipline and the necessity of letting go, of following a map and then throwing it away. The face I found in this canvas led me to a place where there was no map, no footpath, just the exuberance of the paint and the brush and whoever I am. The people who inhabit my paintings are dreamers, but I can’t will their dreams, or the viewer’s connection to them. I can only search for them, one brushstroke at a time, one beat at a time, until I hear their music. Then I can hope you’ll hear it too." -- Paul Micich

- 'I'll Be Back, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media PaintingBy XVALALocated in Oklahoma City, OK'I'll Be Back,' by XVALA is a mixed media painting and colorful screen print with iridescent oil stick painting featuring the theme of the 'New World Order.' It was produced in 2015/16. The phrase 'I'll Be Back' is printed on the top and bottom margins of the work with the words 'New World Order' on the top margin. Three heads are stacked in the center of the canvas with the 'all seeing eye' on the top of the head. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His 'Fear Google' campaign exposed the decay of privacy and 'No Delete' used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the New World Order collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm...Category
