MICHAEL GILES: SOLITUDE/PAPER

The Central Collective / 923 N. Central St. November 4, 2016 - November 4, 2016

Michael Giles

Michael Giles' new works on paper are an exploration of abstraction and an attempt at fostering new meanings. The images are founded upon the patterns and the spaces observed by the artist in the text of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. The hope is that a new understanding can be found at the intersection of text, colors, lines, and layers of materiality.
