The DKS - Michael Anderson at Marlborough

Renowned Bronx based collage and graffiti artist, Michael Anderson, shares the secrets of his artwork with Douglas Kelley!

From the press release for Michael Anderson's show "Collage Geomancy" at Marlborough Gallery, Chelsea:

"The exhibition will consist of twelve new collages and a single sculpture, all of which are comprised of mass-produced advertising materials accumulated by the artist. Born in the Bronx in 1968, Mr. Anderson began his artistic career fusing painting and collage but has concentrated on collage since the early 1990s. Since that time his materials have consisted solely of posters and billboards found on the streets of international cities and physically torn down by the artist. In each work, multiple copies of the same advertisement are ripped into hundreds of varying pieces and reassembled into dynamic
compositions that reflect the artists simultaneous commitments to representation and abstraction."
