“DAN IRVINE’S techniques include using digital cut outs and massive layering of
images. His juxtaposition of images and use of color is a compelling chronicle
of digital artwork, a calculated knowledge of media and a wisdom of both drama
and intensity.” - christina strong, art critic

“I like the feeling that you may want to reach out and touch the painting..to feel the
different texture on each.” says MIKE FOSS. The perception of the viewer changes
each time the painting is viewed due to the energy and movement these canvases
possess.

JOHN MICH : PHOTOGRAPHS
EXHIBITION TO TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY MARCH 15TH AT
AL * KE - ME SALON IN DOWNTOWN PALM SPRINGS

Photographer John Mich will debut his exhibition John Mich: Photographs at Al Ke Me Salon located at 324 North Palm Canyon Drive in downtown Palm Springs on Saturday, March 15, 2008. The artist will be in attendance at the special cocktail reception from 7-9 PM.

He will debut photographs taken over the past two years, presented in the traditional black and white mounted style in black frames. A man’s back, swathed in shadows as he traverses the dark, eroticism of San Francisco’s Doer Alley. A cross section abstract from a Ducati motorcycle’s heart of light, metal, and lines juxtaposed into mysteries of the machine, reminiscent of the man who rides it. The photographs of John Mich represent a singular eye towards the accidental and natural pieces of shadow, form and light that are all around us if we only but stop still long enough to notice.

“My photographs represent what I see,” he explains. “ Anyone with a trained arm and good eye can take pictures of landscapes and people and things in ways that make them look good. I want to present to the viewer the things that hide among us, that we aren’t prone to see in the course of every day life, the gorgeous and abstract constructions that play all around us that remain invisible until captured in the confines of my lens, thus becoming free to transform as stunning visual representations of our world.”
