Michael Thompson Photographer Decorative Art
American
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.to

"Preposition with which the Heraclitis express the eternal becoming of reality, comparing the latter to a river that only apparently remains one and identical, but which in fact continually renews itself and transforms itself, so that it is not given to dive into it more than once, because the second time strictly speaking it is not the same river as the first one.
This conception constitutes the antithesis of that of the absolute eternal unity and immutability of being.
In one fragment Heraclitus emphasizes that man can never experience twice as much,
since every entity, in its apparent reality, is subjected to the inexorable law of change

"Goddess" Collage by Michael Thompson
By Michael Thompson
Located in Chicago, IL
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 “Goddess” condenses the complex processes involved in Thompson’s kite works into a small-scale format. A refined woman sits with poise at the center of the composition, her gaze shifted outwards and her hands resting on her knees, a confident posture reminiscent of royal ease. Imagery lifted from vintage Japanese prints...

In this kite entitled "As a Bee Sees a Butterfly," Thompson creates chaotic harmony from colored rice paper, fragments of painted scrolls, and scraps of printed silks. The layered collage is united by a wash of indigo and turquoise pigments that seem to spill out from the center of the kite. Crashing waves and painterly brush strokes...
