James Michaels

I've mentioned the work of the artist James Michaels once before when my friends purchased Red Pants.

Well, they've done it again. My daughter is standing beside I Had a Glorious Vision.

I like the style of Michaels art that my friends purchased, but I wish I could afford something in his 15 Men series. Luckily, I'll be able to see them all soon. Michaels will have a show James Michaels: PASSION FOR PAINT at the Polk Museum of Art from Oct 21, 2009 to Jan 28, 2010.

The Museum describes the primary paintings in this exhibit as

Monumental both in scale and impact, the fifteen paintings in this exhibition are complex combinations of expressive and controlled brushwork, historic and contemporary imagery, religious and secular symbolism, and personal and cultural references.

Lakeland is a hop, skip, and a short expressway ride from Tampa. I'm sure many will want to go see Michaels' work in a museum setting. I know we'll be there.

09/16 edit: Well, I was misinformed. The painting 15 Men is owned by the Museum and the rest are on loan.
