About the Item
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.
In a departure from his split bamboo kite series, this work on stretched canvas entitled "Voyage" layers found paper and fabric scraps into a landscape of varied colors and forms. Sloping lines drawn with paper are suggestive of mountain peaks and valleys, while the mottled texture of inky watercolors evokes imagery of forests or grassy plains. Fragments of paper packing materials and vintage signage enliven the kite with bright color and striking graphics, reframing the expressive collage as akin to Pop Art or Fluxus. Keeping to a subdued palette of tan, pink, purple, and bright blue, the colorful collage invites the viewer to delve into Thompson’s imagination and journey through a lively terrain of texture and form.

The Road to Abstraction by Judith Myers
By Judith Myers
Located in Vancouver, British Columbia
Acquired from 2011 Solo exhibition at a gallery in Vancouver Canada titled "The Road to Abstraction " by mixed-media artist Judith Myers. This exhibition of works is the inspired result of a recent trip to Holland where she participated in a workshop on a canal boat studying in depth the history of the Dutch Masters and practicing traditional techniques using contemporary materials.
Judith Myers was born in Toronto, Canada and trained in Modern dance before embarking on a career in visual art. Her passion for the abstract expressionists gave inspiration to move to Europe in 1980 where the artistic ambiance was prevalent and conducive for a Canadian to study and integrate with the artists of the European community. Arriving in Amsterdam with a background in teaching modern dance was the introduction that paved the way to being welcomed into learning ceramics, drawing, painting and mixed media. It took only a short time before her work was on display in exhibitions in Holland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. She is presently living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia
