Thanks to everyone for coming down.
Michael Steele’s mixed media pop surrealist cluster paintings convey personal and culturally based themes. These themes are explored by sourcing and combining visual icons from the artist’s generation, referencing the development of computer game culture, the internet phenomenon, the evolution of a multicultural consumer society, advertising and the emergence of graffiti art.
By fusing recognizable visual elements together in random composition, the works engage the viewer to respond to each combination. The works are rich in communication, obvious and hidden messages lie within each explosion of visual stimulus to interpret.

Artist Statement
Light Years is a collection of works that are drawn from the artists inner
world, a dreamlike state of being.
Gods emerge in all their glory, littered with mechanical devices, costumes
and tentacles, both beautiful and dangerous. Mysterious structures, faces
and galaxies are brought forth from another dimension.
Dark and light collide and a new world is the result.
