Works and inspiration by Michael Kessler, a mixed media artist whose work honors the inner dynamics of the natural world. In his latest series, Kessler utilizes the fluidity of water, colored with pigment, to explore the evolution and balance of the natural world. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Kessler has evolved his landscape paintings towards abstraction, focusing on the cause-and-effect of nature, painting not the tree, but the texture of the bark; not the river, but the patterns of erosion.

“Nature provides the basis upon which my work exists. I began by painting landscapes, but through prolonged and careful observation it was the inner dynamics of the natural world that grasped my attention. The questions of how and why nature looked the way it did, began to drive my work.
