ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A lot of my work involves documenting urban neighborhoods and the changes that occur over time. I reflect the best of urban culture past and present. This work uses original street photography of NYC. The piece has 15 layers of screen printing by hand. The slick layer of resin saturates the color and provides an even layer of gloss.

Michael Crossett is a mixed media artist with roots in photography. As a child, he was drawn to the mystery and excitement of waiting and watching for imagery to develop via traditional darkroom methods. In an effort to recreate a similar feeling of wonder while creating art in a world dominated by digital photography, he turned to silk screens. Crossett’s process always begins with a camera. He captures the familiar sights of urban neighborhoods with a discerning and creative eye: both celebrating the city’s rich history and recording its fast-paced changes. He also collects relevant historical imagery and other iconography to add to his final compositions. It is from here that Crossett transforms from photographer to mixed media artist. Rather than relying on digital platforms such as Photoshop to edit, crop, layer, and otherwise transform his imagery, he creates silk screens. One at a time, Crossett hand-pulls color through these screens, layering hundreds of images into vibrant arrangements of recognizable icons. With an undeniable nod to graffiti, his pieces show us city life, through his eyes, breathing new life in to landmarks often considered stale or stoic.
