    About Mike Stack

    Artist Statement

    The organic dialogue between scale, light, and distance, and its resonance with the human condition, becomes the work of color in my paintings. I rely on the physical conditions and optical sensations found in nature without directly quoting their likeness. Developing an orchestration of variable chromatic triads and neutral hues (no two colors are identical with one exception), I work to create a visual dynamic that unendingly shifts and changes. Variation is not only used simultaneously as both a technique and a method of vision, but also as a foundation for interpretation.

    My ink drawings are created with the same emphasis on sensation as my paintings. Inspired by the vastness of scale and depth elicited by looking at the night sky, I strike an entropic balance out of layer upon layer of weaving lines until a resonant profile appears. As newly formed dimensions of changing density, rhythm, and space unfold on the paper, each drawing moves back and forth from portal to object. Here the visual and the physical can exchange disguises.
