Ethereal Visions of the Flint Hills
A one-man showing featuring the works of Michael Duane
Michael Duane is fascinated with weather. The source of his inspiration is palpable as he recalls seeing his first Kansas tornado at the age of seven. Michael admits that since that day, he has been spellbound by the natural forces of sky and earth.
Michael is passionate about his subject matter and believes his art is ever evolving, like the weather. He invites us to experience the allure of storm chasing through his paintings.
Michael says, “I want to capture that same “wow” factor in my paintings that I first felt as a child, …and show the awesome power and beauty of Mother Nature.”
Working with pastels, Michael has developed a technique that involves rubbing the pastels into the paper, creating smooth shapes with less detail, rather than building texture through individual strokes. This distinctive, illustrative style provides an ethereal sensation for the viewer.
