Studio Visit with MICHAEL VOSS

Michael Voss, 2015, oil on linen

It was a real pleasure and privilege to visit Michael Voss in his Bushwick studio. As with most paintings, but especially with Michael's, images do not come close to capturing the delicacy of color and surface he achieves in his small potent works. Sometimes built with many layers, sometimes more immediate, his paintings are comprised of soft contrasts and understated drama. The intuitive configuration of each piece arrives at a moment of perfect poise and is preserved there by restraint. These are quiet objects of pure feeling and extraordinary visual poetry.
