Not just something to hang. Something to look into.
Michael Kiré’s drawings are the result of four decades of searching. Moving back and forth through successive stages, he learned from past masters and grew out of each, with the subconscious as his basis, his guide and his belief.
Each work begins in rapid, unplanned marks in the Surrealist tradition of automatic drawing. The flowing line carries the flourishes outlines of Art Nouveau, and Chinese-calligraphic asemic gestures move through it without carrying language. Then, as if a figure were being freed from marble in the Renaissance spirit of Michelangelo, a quiet face is drawn out of the tangle. The figures have no mouths, turning attention from speech to wordless empathy.
The search is still alive. For collectors who want substance and a practice still developing, each drawing is an original and a step in that journey.
