Description

Size:18 by 24-Inch Michael Creese 'Feng Shui Koi Fish' gallery-wrapped canvas is a high-quality canvas print depicting a pair of golden koi fish interacting in the artist's signature vibrant, oil impasto style. A serene addition to your home or office. Michael Creese was born in Chicago, Illinois and studied art at Carnegie Mellon University, where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He paints in the oil impasto style, a technique used in art where paint is laid thickly on canvas, leaving visible brush (or palette knife) strokes. When dry, impasto provides a great deal of texture to the finished painting. He also works with several other mediums in addition to oils. "My particular style of painting is a culmination of my fine art training, my fondness for the Impressionist and Expressionist art movements and my personal artistic vision. Color and composition are two key elements to my creative process, but the application of paint is perhaps the single most important factor in defining my style, from loose brush strokes and rich texture to an almost frenzied use of palette knife marks. The colors that I use are frequently blended directly on the painting, adding liveliness through visibly distinct transitions in color and shade. I have been told that one of the nicest features of my style, even though it is representational, is its abstract quality. This is one aspect of painting that I truly enjoy and one that I have worked hard to preserve. But apart from all the explanations of technique or style, I think that you will find as I have that art is mostly a mystery so much more than the sum of its parts.".
