ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: MARCH 2017

A multi-media artist with a self-proclaimed obsession with paper, Michael Cutlip draws on the raw energy of urban life when crafting his mixed media works. Heavily influenced by graffiti and street art, his works showcase metropolitan life as seen through an abstract lens. Representational associations fade away as thick layers of paper and paint come together in an effortless balance of color and texture. Conceived in both individual and multi-panel installation works, Cutlip's collages reconstitute urban detritus into a vibrant reflection of our material environment.
