Description

This dynamic artwork captivates with its bold use of color and abstract expression. A vivid palette of red, yellow, and black forms an energetic backdrop. The foreground is dominated by two white, stylized figures, outlined with broad, confident strokes of spray paint, creating a sense of movement and spontaneity. The figures appear ethereal yet striking, as though they are dancing against the vibrant chaos behind them. Splashes of color and drips add depth and texture, emphasizing the raw, urban aesthetic reminiscent of street art. The black, angular lines interspersed throughout the composition introduce a rhythmic structure, guiding the viewer's eye across the canvas. This piece effectively merges graffiti influences with abstract art, presenting a modern, rebellious spirit. Its compelling contrast and layered complexity invite viewers to explore the interplay between order and chaos, making it a visually arresting statement piece.

Presentation

My name is Michael R. Grine and I am an process oriented artist. I use a combination of found objects, acrylic paints, and aerosol paints to create abstract patterns on wood and canvas.

Statement

Curiosity. Emotion. Experimentation. Exploration. Leap of faith. Pursuit of knowledge. These words only begin to describe what my art signifies or represents. I was born an artist and have always identified myself as an artist. I possess an insatiable creative drive to make art out of the images I see in my mind. To help satisfy this impulse, I am always exploring new places and trying new things. Having freedom of expression and not being limited to one style or technique of making art are paramount to my identity as an artist. I love the many different processes of making art and experimenting with new ways of creating art. 

My inspiration stems from color, music, literature, and the excitement about the unknown possibilities of taking everyday objects and using them in a way that differs from what the manufacturer intended. I use a combination of found objects, acrylic paints, and aerosol paints to create abstract patterns on wood and canvas. Some of my methods include combining different chemicals and paint on paper or in plastic or wood box frames to distort vivid colors that are mixed or thrown right on the canvas. The result is the distortion of lines and contours, and layers of translucent or opaque paints on the canvas or in random patterns.
