CityReflections
…Cars’ engines racing, horns blowing, the chatter of strangers’ conversations, flashing lights, sparkling color, energy and intrigue… …Welcome to the world of adventurous cityscape painter Michael Flohr. Flohr’s artistic talent redefines the nature of aesthetic experience with ingenuity prevalent in his work. Uniquely portraying his vision and modernist viewpoint, the artist’s bold interpretation of space and time can sometimes border on the psychedelic.
In his most recent work, “City Reflections”, color and light set the visual tempo for this city scene. By adroitly managing the complex interchange between artistic strategy and compositional arrangement, Flohr masterfully finds the middle ground between abstraction and representation. Action and inaction is implied by his use of spontaneous observation and frenzied color application.
As a master of illumination, he uses pattern and color to suggest a photographic moment of elapsed time. Depicting an unusual intersection of quietude, Flohr’s deliberate use of luminous reflections dictates the mood in “City Reflections”. Seemingly unstructured, yet highly structural in the end, Michael Flohr has mastered the artistic development of a signature style, easily recognizable and widely.
