Please join us for an opening reception for Tacoma artist, Michael
Kaniecki, opening Saturday, April 12, 1-5pm, at Moss + Mineral (
www.mossandmineral.com). "Drawings" is an exhibition of original figure
drawings and limited-edition prints that reaffirm the emotional and
expressive power of hand drawing in the age of digital manipulation.
Some of Kaniecki's nude drawings have a nervous expressiveness reminiscent
of the works of early Viennese artists such as Egon Schiele; others take a
more modernist angle. "I find the deep richness of charcoal on paper
seductive" both for the artist and the viewer, he says. "
"Creation Story" is a limited-edition series (the original set was
purchased for a permanent collection in Moab, UT), an abstract tour de
force in four parts. It begins with an unsuppressed, almost explosive
energy that evolves from a dense black cumulus (chaos) to the condition of
duality, and finally, a cellular sense of order.
A transplant from Moab, Kaniecki is best known locally for a 40+ foot
scroll painting he created at a vacant downtown bank building over the
course of 3 months for Spaceworks Tacoma. The artist - as well as the art -
was on public display for the duration.
The bold juxtaposition of nudes and abstraction creates the powerful
dynamism of this show. Read more at
