Mike Elsass' show

Show: October 1st - 15th at ArtPeople Gallery

Thursday, October 6th, 4-7pm
Opening reception for MIKE ELSASS' show

ArtPeople Gallery presents artist MIKE ELSASS' work in a powerful and unique show.

I paint abstract on rusted sheets of steel and my art is spiritual and meditative. By painting, sponging, sanding, the steel evolves until the final coating. Many pieces have over 40 coats of paint and glazing. The steel represents strength, life's elements, aging, imperfection and beauty.

My spirit lies on the road. From my first series in Quebec, Canada to the Gulf Coast winter and the Louisiana swamps, I draw my energy from nature and life. The Arizona desert and the Kentucky countryside blend my art.
