Michael McGuire
After formal training in sculpture, Michael began to feel a need for more color in his work. The artist paints primarily in the same manner that he sculpted. He likes to build up the surface with layers of paint, applying it with knives, giving the same feeling he gets building with clay or plaster, but adding the dimension of color. Michael prefers to mold and mix the paint directly on the canvas.
While working with the figure has always been enjoyable to the artist, the use of houses and landscapes allows experimentation with contrasting colors and planes of light

"My art has always evolved from my imagination. The paintings depict places and things that are a compilation of places I have been or seen. Visible are the contours of Truro, Provincetown and it's ocean views, but I also see the colors and shapes of Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where I often visit." Michael McGuire |
