One of country’s most prominent figurative artists, Michael Carson, is welcomed back to the Valley of the Sun to launch his highly anticipated new exhibition of paintings and sculptures. Carson’s painting technique allows light and color to compliment each other when played off the unique texture that his brushstrokes evoke. Carson will debut his bronze sculptures which include a bathing beauty and a thoughtful girl. These most recent bronze works demonstrate the signature roaring- 1920s style found in his renowned paintings, giving lovers of various media something to admire. Carson has observed his painting technique evolve through his sculpting and believes “it has made me a better painter”. This opportunity to view a fresh perspective from such a respected artist should not to be missed, plus this exciting event will be sponsored by Arizona’s own Four Peaks Brewery!
