Michael R. Arnold: Beyond the Architecture of Art
Mike Arnold’s journey through the imaginative field of design began with a focus on architecture and the constructed environments of buildings he created. Now immersed in his new phase of artistic discovery and expression, Mike continues his journey in search of creating atmospheric perspectives through his use of line and colour. Mike examines the interplay of texture, shape and colour of both iconic buildings and the equestrian world.
This exhibition presents Mike Arnold’s second body of work as a continued exploration of iconic architecture and scenes from the region through his unique paintings and mono print perspectives; a vibrational interaction of sketched, etched, painted and printed lines. His work is known for its subtle harmonic values of colour and shape that broaden the viewer’s vision through unfamiliar perspective angles.
This exhibition serves to expand Mike’s ouevre. While the mono-prints which gained him his early notiriety will still be present, he exhibits these alongside large scale prints with an ode to colour and a celebration of the figurative form in his depiction of horses in a variety of activities.
This exhibition will celebrate Mike’s move from architectural art, beyond, into the realm which will reveal his work as that of a painterly artist.
