Michael Thompson
"Study for Lavaliere, " Monoprint and Found Paper Collage

2022

About the Item

Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. His ongoing series of large-scale kites bridge the gap between flat art and sculpture, each crafted of split bamboo frames covered with stretched muslin and a collage of vintage ephemera – including kimonos, obis, paintings, scrolls, drawings, metal leaf, bleeding paper, book pages, or anything with a story to tell. A combination of print and collage, this work entitled “Study for Lavaliere” condenses the complex processes involved in Thompson’s kite works into a small-scale format. Intricately layered paper elements create an abstract composition of bold, color-blocked shapes, while printed shading overlaid onto the collage achieves a distressed, shadowy effect. Well-placed scraps of found print media add character and texture and a thin black line twists and turns atop other elements, imbuing the work with latent movement. The abstract collage has been set within two antique wood frames. “Study for Lavaliere,” 2022 Michael Thompson Monoprint and found paper collage. Framed. Additional Dimensions: Without Frame: 14"W x 17"H

  • Large 3D Cast Paper Abstract Oil Monoprint Unique Monotype Painting John Walker
    By John Walker
    Located in Surfside, FL
    John Walker British (b. 1939) Salsipuedes Forms (1991) Monoprint relief print with dry pigment, monotype Hand signed lower right Provenance: Garner Tullis Workshop A monotype is literally one of a kind; it is not a method of multiplication. The artist makes an image with a liquid medium on wood, metal or glass, and paper is laid over the moist image and bonded under pressure the paper is then removed bringing with it the transposed monotype. John Walker (born 1939) is an English painter and printmaker. He has been called "one of the standout abstract painters of the last 50 years." Walker studied in Birmingham at the Moseley School of Art, and later the Birmingham School of Art and Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris. Some of his early work was inspired by abstract expressionist art and post-painterly abstraction, and often combined apparently three-dimensional, sculptural shapes with "flatter" elements. These pieces are usually rendered in acrylic paint. In the early 1970s, Walker made a series of large...
