Micheal Madigan
Michael Madigan’s paintings evoke places without depicting them. Rich in color and expression, they serve as documents of memory related to his travels, over the past 20 years, to Spain, Italy, England, Ireland, and across the U.S. These “sojourns,” he says, “permeate an energy that is palpable still to this day.” Working in acrylic, Madigan layers and then selectively subtracts paint, a process that is itself a metaphor for the way memory is built, altered, held and lost.
Madigan's work has been widely exhibited in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., and is represented in numerous collections, including The Carnegie Institute, the Musée de Beaux Arts, Bristol Myers Squibb, Sandler O’Neil, and Johnson & Johnson.
