Michael Voss

An introduction can be a wonderful thing. You can meet interesting people, and make new friends. You can be introduced to your new favorite foods, books, music, or artist.

I’d like to introduce you to some of my favorite artists. Some of whom I’ve been familiar with for years, and others I’ve only recently been introduced to.

The person I’d like to introduce is the artist Michael Voss.

Artist’s Statement

 “As a painter I believe there are as many ways to make a painting as there are possibilities to do anything else in life. My work has been to explore some of these possibilities. Therefore , there is not a preconceived set of rules that drive my work, but an explorative, quite intuitive and open-ended process, that is aware of not only the improvisorial character of the painting at hand, but also of  the provisional character of the notion of painting itself.The single painting achieves its resolution through it’s own means. Or, in other words: the painting is specific.” MV
