Michael Falzone

Falzone's art has been referred to, by LA Times art critic, Colin Gardner, as a "hybrid sensual expressionism" with roots and influences in Fauvism and Cubism. The principal of Falzones art involves recycled ideas, concepts and materials that are informed by an interest in art history, literature, pop culture, and the human condition. These deliberations are often manifested in two and three dimensional, painted mixed media constructions or collages that utilize a variety of materials including, wood, metal, paper, fabric, and painting and drawing media. Ultimately Falzone confronts the formal issues of color, scale and composition through implied interaction between figure and environment, the serious and the playful in anticipation of the the poetic.
