About the Item

"Second Sight" by Mike Ball is a 48" x 60" oil on canvas that captures the tumultuous depth of the subconscious. This contemporary abstract swirls with a dynamic array of colors—striking reds, electric blues, and vivid yellows cutting through the dominant expanse of black. Ball’s expressive strokes and the strategic placement of colors suggest a vision beyond the ordinary, an insight into a reality that is felt rather than seen. The singular white orb acts as a focal point, a beacon of clarity amidst the chaos, evoking a sense of revelation and profound discovery. This piece conveys the complex layers of perception and the artist's ability to see beyond the surface to the profound truths hidden within. About the Artist: Michael Ball is an artist whose creative journey is interwoven with personal triumphs and challenges. Commencing his artistic exploration in 2001 during a tumultuous period of his life, Ball found solace and expression through the medium of painting, teaching himself through dedicated study of various artists and their techniques. This self-taught painter, who has faced the hardships of bipolar disorder and homelessness, has emerged with a body of work that is as compelling as his life story. His paintings, often displayed in his own living space, are vivid representations of his resilience and artistic fervor. Ball's approach to art is reflective and meditative, offering viewers a passage into his interpretation of the world around him. His contributions extend beyond canvas, as he has been a collaborative force in community art projects. Ball's artistry is not just a form of self-expression but a testament to the human spirit's capacity to rise above adversity and find healing through creativity. Original, 1-of-1. Available at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
