This is an 30" x 30" original oil on canvas by Michael Pfleghaar. Royal Melbourne is the name of the mid-century modern home in Palm Springs, CA designed in the 1950's. I fell in love with these homes when I visited for the first time many years back. The way the architecture and landscape blend together harmoniously has always fascinated me. My interest is part documentation and part design. I want to design the compositions as carefully as the architects designed the homes and landscapes surrounding them.

The painting is stretched on 1 1/2" stretcher bars and sides are painted black so no need to frame.

Michael Pfleghaar received his MFA in visual arts from The College of Art and Design Lesley University in 2011. Modernist design objects, architecture and gay culture inspire Pfleghaar’s colorful abstract paintings and constructions.

Pfleghaar was awarded the 2013 Joan Mitchell Foundation Ox-Bow School of Art Fall Residency in Saugatuck, MI and in 2012 was included in the LGBTQ exhibition ReMix: Revisiting Appropriation, curated by Jonathan Katz, San Francisco, CA. In addition to his artwork being featured in Studio Visit, Metropolitan Home, Solace, and American Craft Magazines, Pfleghaar’s pieces are in the permanent art collections including the Grand Rapids Art Museum, Frederik  Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, Steelcase Inc., Neiman Marcus, Herman Miller and the State of Michigan Governor’s Residence.

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.
