Michael Batty in his studio in Vancouver April 2024
🖼️ART EXHIBITION ALERT🎨: COMING SOON – @MarkMooreGallery pleased to introduce the newest work by Canadian painter Michael Batty titled BRIDGES in an exclusive ARTSY online exhibition opening in May.
Comprised of four separate canvas panels, these new works are a continuation of his exploration with colour equations. In the new works the colours span the width of the painting and through colour tone and subtle relationships appear to have overlapping tones that build the image. The expanse of the upper panel offers a resting place for the eye and brings in a new element to these geometric paintings, an association to the landscape, horizon and sky.
“Bridges” have long been metaphorically associated with connecting two separate entities, ideas or places, making a journey from one to another possible. They symbolize transition, progress, and the ability to overcome obstacles. By creating compositions that reflect this, Michael Batty’s new works are infused with a new layer of meaning, inviting viewers to contemplate the significance of connection, transition and the journey from one state to another.
Michael Batty has been an artist for over 35 years, primarily as a painter concerned with abstraction.
Michael Batty graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1989 with a major in painting. He attended the renowned artist workshops in Emma Lake, Saskatchewan, and studied printmaking at The Art Institute at Capilano College in Vancouver. Batty’s paintings can be found in collections around the world, including the Waldorf Astoria in Beijing, China, W Guangzhou, China, Four Seasons, Dubai, UAE, and Bank of Montreal in Calgary and Toronto.
