About the Item
Entitled "Seascape," this painting by Chicago artist Michael Thompson is a departure from the collage work of his ongoing kite series. Rendered in grayscale palette, the painting has a moody setting, unclear if depicting a tumultuous ocean or the eroded peaks and valleys of a mountain range. Much like the natural complexities of a traditional Chinese scholars' rock, the painting invites you to get lost within its landscape of dark of light.
"Adrift in a roiling sea, imagining the swells as land. A distant moon casts a faint glow. The waves assume the appearance of scholar stones. Turmoil reconciled peacefully."
Oil paint and latex on canvas. Framed

Michael Thompson
Michael Thompson is a well-known Chicago artist whose work has been featured both locally and internationally. From elaborate sculptures made of found objects to his well-known “kite” series, Thompson combines traditional objects, large-scale collage and the aesthetic of the abstract. His unique kites combine painting, collage, and sculpture and crafted from split bamboo frames covered with stretched muslin and layers of found ephemera – including kimono silk, obis, paintings, scrolls, drawings, and book pages collected on his travels. Thompson has earned an international reputation for his kite works, an engrossing project initiated by the artist more than a decade ago.
