PRISMS is a collection of new oil paintings by Michael Mogavero.
Michael Mogavero began his painting career alongside the Pattern and Decoration and New Image artists in 1970s-80s New York. He landed in Austin to teach at the University of Texas, and recently retired. PRISMS culminates his last two years of dedicated studio work.
The paintings in PRISMS construct wordless poems from a set of image-forms. Signets, sea horizons, bleached walls, nights, and wings repeat like arcana. Perspectives abut like conjoined realities. The images are mystical and post-modern and painted with joy, roughness, and nuance.
