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 41.5-inch by 62.5-inch by 3-inch MDF panel, applying multiple coats of acrylic paint. He then creates painted and printed sheets of 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 one to the next. 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.



"Golden Rod" is a work that is dominated by a vertical shape of yellow, one that is crenelated at its top and is fully articulated by slightly darker yellow marks. Like an Egyptian obelisk or a Mayan stela, the shaft-like shape of "Golden Rod" bespeaks a language that is not easily decoded. However, when seen in the context of the artist's other work, its message becomes clear. Like a late summer field of blooming golden rod supporting the migration of monarch butterflies, this yellow-based work captures the forces of nature in both color and form. 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.
