About The Artwork

Another painting in my continuing series of book paintings. Depicting a stack of curated art books gives the viewer insight into my creative influences. A stack of art and design books on a Herman Miller walnut stool designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the lobbies of the Time-Life Building in New York City. The art books depicted are: Carrie Moyer: Pirate Jenny Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927-1937 Kandinski Amy Sillman: One Lump or Two Modigliani David Hockney: A Bigger Exhibition Matisse Acrylic and flashe on cradled wood panel. The background is matte vinyl paint called flashe and the rest of the painting is acrylic and some subtle colored pencil are shown in detailed photos. There is a satin sheen in some areas of the painting which references its materiality. The cradled edge of the painting is painted black, wired, and ready to hang without framing. Signed, dated, and titled on the back.

Michael Pfleghaar is an artist residing and working in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He earned his MFA in visual arts from Lesley University College of Art and Design in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2011. Pfleghaar often portrays botanicals and still lifes, infusing them with abstract elements and flattened space to generate new perspectives. His compositions reflect influences from mid-century modern design, evident in the clean lines, balance, and use of organic materials. In 2023, Pfleghaar was chosen as one of four artists to have their work permanently installed as terrazzo floor designs at the Gerald R Ford International Airport. He also received The Best of Show in the 2021 Festival of the Arts and the West Michigan Area Show at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts in Kalamazoo in 2020. Pfleghaar's artwork has been featured in Architectural Digest, Arcadia Magazine, Studio Visit, Metropolitan Home, Solace, and American Craft. Organizations such as the Gilmore Piano Festival 2024, Apple, HBO, CBS, ForeSee, Hayworth, and Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts have utilized his artwork as illustrations. In 2016, Pfleghaar attended the Spread Art Artists Residency in Detroit, MI, and in 2013, he was honored with the Joan Mitchell Foundation’s Ox-Bow School and Artists Residency in Saugatuck, MI. His work was part of the 2012 LGBTQ exhibition ReMix: Revisiting Appropriation, curated by Jonathan Katz in San Francisco, CA. Pfleghaar's original artworks are included in permanent collections, such as the Grand Rapids Art Museum, Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, the State of Michigan, and Grand Valley State University.
