Add Review/CommentCerulean Arts is excited to present the exhibition Michael, Where are You? Altered States of North America, featuring recent paintings, prints and mixed media works on paper by Michael Kowbuz. How one really looks at the world around us is at the heart of Kowbuz’s vision. Through his work, he seeks to turn our mediated view of the world inside out. Kowbuz first captures his subjects – people posing with their vehicles, fleeting reflections in windows, somber urban views – in photographs. Using a grid and working square by square, he transforms the mechanically-reproduced image back into something unique with subtle qualities of color, light, temperature and texture. He hopes his work poses the question “What is real?” Originally from Canada, Kowbuz received his Master of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1996; previously he earned a Master of Arts in Community College Teaching and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He is the Director of Continuing Education Programs and an adjunct faculty member at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and co-proprietor of Cerulean Arts Gallery and Studio. Michael, Where are You? Altered States of North America is on view November 18 – January 8, 2010 and is free and open to the public. The opening reception is Friday, November 20 from 5-9 pm. The artist will be available to answer questions about his work Saturday, December 19, 1-4 pm with a gallery talk at 2pm. Additionally, Michael Kowbuz will conduct a weekend workshop “Ink Wash Drawing” on January 2 and 3, 2010 from 9 am–12 pm.
