Michael Hedges

b. 1976

Recently I found myself standing with Michael Hedges in his new, sunny studio in Oak Park, just outside Chicago. Surrounded by his paintings my eyes had trouble adapting to the wonderful, vibrating energy bouncing around the place. Michael has a true cosmic connection to the Abstract Expressionists he so dearly admires, and his belief in the synthesis of color, line and form allows him to carry on in a venerable tradition newly imagined. These are terrific pictures!
