ies of these buildings that were sold at auction. Michael Lawrence : Artist Statement
When I was very young I knew I wanted to be an artist. I grew up in Reedley, California a small agricultural town which my Anthropology professor described as a peasant community. In many ways television and movies shaped my vision of the world. What added to this landscape was slide shows of exotic places my aunts were always traveling to. I developed an obsession about ancient civilizations, art and metaphysics. Throughout my years in school my creativity was fostered and encouraged. I developed a love of working in clay and painting in oils. I planned after High school to travel to Europe. Travel opened up new vistas and inspiration that I have incorporated into my artwork. It was a synthesis of television, movies and travel that have formed my artistic language. When painting in oils I love the depth of colors. If I am seeking a transparent effect or bold solid colors they have the ability to render fine details and color nuances. I choose my colors in a painting to be harmonious and play off of each other. My images are drawn from print media, TV and ancient art. I love the interplay between discordant images that explore our preconceived ideas about beauty, loss and gender roles. My artwork is grounded by a life long interest in metaphysics and how archetypes change and are refined by cultures. In many ways when I compose a painting it is like working on a puzzle. It is an intuitive process that gestates and at some point I feel that all the elements are in harmony.

Where do you spend the most time? Does the art in that room actually reflect how much time you spend there?

The spaces we use most deserve the most thought.

On my mind lately: "FAT BABY II"

Here is a question worth sitting with: what do you actually see when you walk into your own home?

Not what is there, but what do you still notice? What draws your eye?

What have you stopped seeing because it has been there so long?

"BABY ON RHINOCEROS BEETLE" and the online art gallery is here, if you need to switch things up.

White Doll

Taken from the painting BURNING GIRL, we present the White Doll. This compelling painting draws the viewer into a surreal landscape. At its center, and in striking contrast, two figures stand on each side of a weathered photo of a young girl. Floating in the water, a serene religious figure draped in deep blue and a Victorian Doll, The White Doll, of a young girl adorned in a flowing gown holding a rose. Beneath both of them, flames engulf the bottoms of their garments. The water in the background of greens and blues is filled with schools of fish.

"WAZOOZA" // https://www.michaellawrencefineartandstudios.com/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art_print_products/wazooza

Wazooza - by Michael Lawrence | This striking artwork delves into themes of decay and mythology, presenting a surreal landscape that evokes a sense of both darkness and contemplation. At its center, a winged figure stands atop a rocky hill, surrounded by haunting relics of the past and present—skeletons, masks, a socialite, and ancient vessels—each element rich with symbolism. The backdrop of swirling fire clouds and distant celestial bodies adds an otherworldly dimension, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between life, death, and the remnants of history. This piece not only challenges perceptions but also serves as a thought-provoking addition to any space, encouraging reflection and dialogue.
