About the Item

In Michael Vacchiano's Surrealist Oil Painting "Point Break" (2023), an odd an humorous scene of a horse jumping through the tops of the clouds is depicted. Artist Bio/Statement: Michael W. Vacchiano is a Denver-based artist with a primary focus in figurative oil painting. His work explores traditional tropes with a contemporary edge. Michael’s current work explores the turmoil and inequality within our country today. The allegorical narrative within these paintings reference this uniquely American concept of something being “Western”. By using a contemporary western aesthetic he confronts outdated notions of the American experience and addresses the social and political upheaval within America today. He completed his BFA at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2004 and has maintained a studio in Colorado since that time. Michael was co-owner and curator of Point Gallery in Denver’s Santa Fe Art District and is currently co-owner of Satellite Exhibition Services, an art fabrication and installation design company. Recent exhibitions include: True West at Red Brick, Aspen 2022; Alt/West at BRDG Project, Denver, 2021; True West at The Dairy Block Denver, 2020; Knockout at The Dairy Block Denver, 2020; and DRAFT Ekphrastic at the Parker Arts & Cultural Event Center, 2018. Vacchiano's work has been exhibited throughout Colorado, and his paintings can be found in a number of private collections throughout the United States and abroad.
