Michael Kessler is based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His intricately layered, often large-scale, nature-based abstract paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States and abroad, featured in 135 solo exhibitions and 24 museum collections. Kessler takes an in-depth and decidedly modern look at the “inner dynamics of the natural world” and how the layers form a landscape. As Kessler asked questions of how and why nature took its form by observing erosion and growth through elements like wind and water, these elements, too, shaped his work. Kessler’s abstractions accent modern architecture especially well, and can be found as the focal point in many contemporary homes and buildings.
The abstract artist delivered five new arrivals to Ann Korologos Gallery, and showed us how he stretches his canvas onto the frame. Enjoy the new arrivals below.
