Michael Hayes "Essentially a Retrospective"
Atlantic Gallery
This event has ended.
“Art speaks to us of human hopes and fears across time and cultures. In my paintings and collages, I look to a meeting point of rage, lust, divinity, and irony that for me is the crucial mystery of being human. My starting points can be literary fragments, newspaper headlines, or memories. My objective is to transform violence, trauma, sex, and death into abstract images of riveting beauty.
“I push for an image that has a sense of random inevitability and juxtaposes elements in a way that surprises me and speaks feelingly. The goal is to go with the process to a deep and primitive place. When an image makes me laugh with delight and recognition, I know I'm on the right track.”
