MICHAEL STACK
PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
|
| |
Fine arts visionary whose work is found in private and public collections in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Painting and sculpture combine his rigorous modernist approach with classical disciplines to define two and three-dimensional images. Work emphasizes mythical narratives, spontaneous sophistication and dedication to technical excellence.
Commercial applications demonstrate his challenging artistic approach to design related problems.
These include color design, special painted effects, architectural restoration and renovation, interior design, and custom furniture design.
Since 1998 the scope of his work has grown to include large scale structures that utilize the tetrahelical concept of R. Buckminster Fuller that can be lit with fiber optics. These new forms are virtually unlimited in scale and form with both indoor and outdoor applications. In 2005, another sculptural innovation was introduced that resulted in the installation of RIBBONS, a painted steel sculpture in a building lobby that has, again, many indoor and outdoor applications.
