The paintings of Lon Michels are suffused with light and energy. His subjects vary from still-life, landscape and portraiture all guided by perceptions that are visionary-like. Saturated with invigorating colors and blanketed in fantastic patterning, each canvas offers an overflow of a life lived large. With his unique vision, Michels challenges the viewer to search each work for many hidden visual treasures. The artist received his MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was nominated for a Joan Mitchell grant in 2007.
