Presentation
Michael Kagan is a New York based artist whose paintings are heroic explorations of the balance between abstract and representational painting. Similar to space, Michael's work depicts intensity in the light resulting in almost a cinematic quality. Through his work, the connection between painting and space travel, Michael is making a visual record of a place that is far away, yet in our calm and chaotic lives, relatable to all viewers.
Michael has been exploring paintings with light and explosions through single images. Even though his foundation comes from a representational painting background, in his more recent work he has taken an abstract direction to enhance the strength of painting as a medium, focusing more on the brushwork, exploring new painting techniques and ways to apply paint, speaking with color to talk about light, still holding on to representations.
