Product Information
A beautiful abstract piece featuring swirling DNA-like strands, and floating and conjoining bubbles of blue and green. This piece was painted live on 30 December 2008 at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom to the sounds of Chris Berry & Panjea, Lynx & Janover, and Kyle Hollingsworth's DNA Land.
Since November of 2007, Michael has painted at concerts in a legendary range of situations, from basement clubs to the deep Nevada desert to NASA's Ames Research Center – both onstage and off, and alongside internationally renowned visionary artists Alex & Allyson Grey, Mark Henson, Kris D, J Garcia, Oliver Vernon, Andrew Jones, Amanda Sage, Xavi, and Mars-1. Michael’s improvised live paintings are hand-illustrated with pens (and without computers or measuring tools) during concerts. Each painting grows according to an evolving visual genome, translated from the throb of the house and the crowd into cross-sections of fireworks and undersea faeries, closed-eye tessellations and luminous fossils…vivid scenes of unabashed intensity, verdant and exultant imagery written in the natural language of dreams.
Live painter, essayist, performing songwriter, and evolutionary biologist Michael Garfield is on a mission to demonstrate that everything is equally art, science, and spiritual practice.
