Michael Shemchuk

“I describe my work as “a surface of navigation”, like a map. The paintings I produce are abstract landscapes of color, shapes, lines and textures related and synchronized to create their own rhythm. My work attempts to awaken the memories of color and light that are evident in all of us, and to inspire our sensibilities to have a dialog with these memories. Inspiration comes in the many environments I observe in the world.”

ARTIST BIO
Michael Shemchuk’s abstract paintings navigate the painted surface through the emotion of color, line and texture. The overlay opens up a world that could be microscopic in nature, or simply a road map that reminds us of a landscape once visited.

His” Meridian” paintings are an ongoing series that explores specific longitudinal landscapes through the flora and fauna of a particular place. Color evokes the physical emotion of place, and the textural scratchings unearth compressed layers of time; a portrait of the natural world.
