This exhibition marks a profound evolution in my creative journey, blending nature’s inspiration into abstract forms to stir the imagination. Join me on this voyage where the outdoors merges into abstraction, crafting a deeply personal, universally resonant narrative.

TRANSITIONS, a collection that encapsulates the evolution of my artistic expression. This body of work serves as a visual narrative, celebrating the landscape without the visual mess of detail, allowing the viewer to experience the beauty of simplicity.

The smaller outdoor paintings serve as windows into nature’s intricate beauty. These works capture the essence of fleeting moments in time, each brushstroke a dedication to the details often overlooked. These act as a foundation, laying the groundwork for the expressive evolution that follows.

As we progress through the exhibit, the scale expands with a shift towards the abstract which becomes a vehicle for deeper exploration. Larger canvases become a playground for experimentation, allowing me to push the boundaries of traditional representation and delve into a more interpretive realm. Here, complexity emerges not from intricate details but through the intentional interplay of planning and design, fostering a nuanced and evocative visual experience.

I invite you to immerse yourself in the rhythmic journey of “Transitions,” discovering the hidden narratives within each painting and revelling in the complexity woven through thoughtful design.

Thank you for joining me in this exploration of artistic evolution and the dynamic interplay between representation and interpretation.

Michael King, a Canadian painter, is passionate about plein air (outdoor) painting, concentrating on capturing the essence of the landscape with swift, single strokes of color. His direct experiences in the outdoors serve as a driving force behind the creation of his more extensive studio works.

Always looking for the nuance of light, shape and colour, he combines representational elements with an Impressionistic style. His paintings strike a balance between realistic observation and abstract interpretation resulting in a unique and captivating aesthetic.
