Michael O’Shea – May, 2021
As a resident of West Marin, Michael cannot help being intrigued by the surrounding forest and the pattern made by the trees. They have such individuality, inviting a sort of dialog while they search with their branches for light. This work is an examination of the trees as seen in many ways, against their surroundings.
Using a laser printed black and white photograph, he transfers the image to a prepared and pre-painted wooden panel using varnish. Rubbing away the paper leaves the tree image imprinted. Upon this, he paints again until his dialog with the tree is complete. Michael has had solo shows in the Bay Area and in France, as well as participating in group shows. Recent West Marin shows in 2019 were at the Dance Palace in Point Reyes Station and First Valley Inverness Gallery. Currently, he is participating in the exhibit “Extraction: Art at the Edge of the Abyss” at Gallery Route One.
Join Michael for an online reception on Tuesday May 4, from 5:00-6:00pm.
Registration via Eventbrite is required. Registration closes 30 minutes prior to the event start. To register, please visit Eventbrite by clicking here.
