Michael Hedges "Studio Sunday" Oil Painting on Canvas W 52" x H 42"

Michael Hedges, born 1976, United States.

Michael's art connects on a cosmic plane with the Abstract Expressionists he dearly admires. His brushstrokes seem to reverberate off the canvas as he reimagines the synthesis of color, line, and form into a symphonic whole. Michael received his B.A. in Studio Art from Loras College in Dubuque, IA in 1998. Since then, he has been exhibiting and selling his artwork throughout the country. Working on around 10 canvases at once is key to creating the striking combinations of color, line, and texture emblematic as his work. He says, “This multiple approach allows me to go in different directions, very quickly building the energy that is critical to a successful painting. I strive to create intense, even and stunning color relationships that are balanced by form and texture into a controlled elegance. The challenge here is to create a vibration in the work that energizes it without separating.” As collectors respond to his vision in growing numbers, Michael continues to capture that controlled elegance in his vibrant canvases.
