Artist Comments
City and country, and east and west meet in this surreal scene. A group of figures perform agricultural activities outside a city. Man pulls a tractor, woman picks a lemon while another prepares to plant a tree. Prominent city skyline rises just behind the hill.
About the Artist
Michael Wedge works in a variety of mediums: sculpture, painting, mixed media and more. He oftentimes starts with a mental image and creates digital collages, which become the basis for his paintings. A lot of his work references themes from his personal life, such as the experience of living in a city versus in the countryside. If his art seems mysterious, it;s because he enjoys making complex works. "I am attracted to images or moments that seem to have something subtle or hidden under the surface," he explains. When he;s not making art, he teaches it at an elementary school.
