The Mary Lou Zeek Gallery will begin the new year with a January show featuring the exceptional work of Michael Schlicting. Schlicting is keenly aware of the visceral emotion that a scene evokes. Mood, feeling and universal longing are the subjects of his art rather than literal, physical realism. He incorporates into his paintings personal symbols and his reaction to his environment, be it the Oregon coastline or foreign alleyways. In his images, Schlicting vividly demonstrates it is not what you see that counts, but what you sense. It is this probing, intuitive exploration that has given Schlicting's art a deeper level of meaning, and in the process, gained him national distinction. Michael grew up in Neskowin, Oregon and has been an award winning painter for over 25 years. He has over 2000 paintings in public, corporate and private collections worldwide. "As an artist, one needs to look deep within yourself to get past the easy answers. Creativity comes from probing the edge of your response to your environment, actual or metaphorical." - Michael Schlicting |
