Artist Michael DesRosiers creates paintings, mixed-media works, and welded aluminum sculptures. Noted for his ability with color, DesRosiers' non-objective art is as in tune with nature as it is with the complexities of the human psyche. This artist has spent decades in the studio refining his unique sensibility, one that combines the authenticity of the abstract idiom with the emotional impact of vivid color. His work has been widely exhibited in galleries and at international art fairs.

DesRosiers begins this mixed-media work by preparing a 10-inch by 10-inch by 2-inch MDF panel, applying multiple coats of acrylic paint. He then creates painted and printed sheets of square paper, each featuring complex patterns and colors. Using these unique proprietary materials as a foundation for the composition, DesRosiers interlocks selected pieces, often applying intermediate glazes of translucent paint and burnishing each layer together. The final result is a seamless image that transcends its components. To complete the piece, multiple coats of MSA varnish are applied for both performance and protection.

In "Stand Up Black," a dominant black silhouette holds a radiant orange constellation, one that is trussed in place by a configuration of fragile orange lines. Recalling the robust colors of autumn, this conjunction of black with a melange of oranges is a metaphor for transition, both in nature and in the human experience. The artwork is intentionally unframed. The dripped edges not only record the history of the piece but also serve as the transition between the work and the wall.

This mixed-media work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the artist. Simple installation instructions will also be included.
