MEDIANIC
By Michael Kessler
Located in Three Oaks, MI
Michael Kessler’s work explores the continuum between gesture and geometry. Each work consists of as many as 50 micro-thin layers of translucent and transparent acrylic. Biomorphic tendrils branch to and fro, while arcs of line and color slip over and under matrices, balancing nature’s sinuous curves with the mindfulness of structure. He likens the gestural freedom in his works to a kind of painterly “tai chi” – a...

"Nightscape" Deep Blues & Black, Oil on Canvas
Located in Detroit, MI
"Nightscape" was painted in 1960 by the African-American artist, Merton Simpson. It is a mixture of deep blues and black with what may be a white moon whose reflection in the lower half of the painting literally causes the painting to glow.
Simpson became the first African American to receive a prestigious five-year fellowship from the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Education fund and left South Carolina in 1949 for New York City after he finished high school. He attended New York University and Cooper Union while working in the frame shop of Herbert Benevy. Many well-known artists came to the frame shop and in time critiqued Simpson's work and developed a relationship with him. At NYU Simpson became acquainted with Hale Woodruff...

"Farm No. 5" Abstract, Dark Dramatic Blue & Geometric Shapes
Located in Detroit, MI
"Untitled" by Brenda Goodman is a painting that shows the psychological drama that Brenda brings to her artwork. She is particularly adept at rendering within the dark foreboding black backgrounds struggles that humans often live within. There is a dramatic tension set up between the forms represented here: the large looming over the small, the stronger over the weaker, the smarter over the less capable. This painting is open for and encourages endless interpretations.
Brenda Goodman is an American artist and painter currently living and working in Pine Hill, New York. Her artistic practice includes paintings, works on paper and sculptures. She is one of the original Cass Corridor Artists from Detroit, Michigan. Other Cass Corridor Artists include Robert Sestok...

"Lil Sherbert" Colorful, African American, Black Linear Dominating Lines
Located in Detroit, MI
"Lil Sherbert" is a very colorful painting of an African American subject with a heavy black linear element. The title suggests a specific individual, although the rendering is abstract, and the confining quality of the heavy black lines is easily relived by the intense primary colors. This is an altogether exciting juxtaposition of colors and emotional energy. Painted by Sheefy McFly...

"Icarus Suspended" Abstract Mythical Figurative Mixed Media
By Michael Ayrton
Located in Detroit, MI
“Icarus Suspended” is an extraordinary painting of Ayrton's obsession with flight, myths, mirrors and mazes. This complex piece shows a figure in flight, frozen in action, either swooping down or, perhaps, falling to earth. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, who along with his father attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Flying too close to the sun the wax melted and both fell to earth. The positioning of Ayrton's figure is reminiscent of "The Fall of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy, Museo Nacional del Prado.
This is part of a series of artworks on Icarus some sculptural and some three-dimensional paintings on canvas. Verso contains gallery label Matthiesen Gallery, 142 Bond St., London, England, with a signature and text in upper right corner: "To Morton Schotnick. Bought on the occasion of The Archives of American Arts Tour to London, England. October 10, 1961. Michael Ayrton...
