How did Michael’s path lead from depicting reality to abstraction? How does he perceive the interconnectedness of the different media in his work? And what lies behind the technique he presents in this exhibition?
“Painting, working with textiles, and drawing are integral parts of my practice. I feel a strong inner need for each of these media, and when one becomes exhausted, I can return to another with joy and confidence. This transition often opens up new possibilities and ideas,” says Michael Nosek about his work. He also explains why his new exhibition is titled Afterimage and how he engages with the theme of the eye’s memory.
In the interview, you’ll also hear how Michael has been inspired by the themes of finitude and apocalypse, how parenthood has transformed his practice, and what his collaboration with Bold Gallery was like.
