Marty Michaelson

My brother, Marty Michaelson, is an artist. His biggest project was working with the artist Judy Chicago on her last project. We are lucky in that the last couple of times we went to Los Angeles we were able to see his latest shows. I meant to publicize his latest when I first came back from LA, but other things kept coming up. Now there are only 8 days left til it closes so I better plug it now!

My brother came to art somewhat late and somewhat randomly. But he loves it and his style keeps developing. You can see some of his stuff (and he is quite prolific, so this is only a small sampling) if you click here.

Among my personal favorites are one he did based on pictures my wife and I brought back from our honeymoon in Japan:

And this rather surreal one called "Frida Kahlo on Monster Island:"

(this gives you an idea of some of his unique themes)

Here's the info on the latest show:

"From The Depths . . ." Showcases Local Art Work

From the depths of downtown Pomona, 17 artists have risen from their basement gallery to spread the word that organisms and objects of all types have come "From The Depths . . ." of space, the jungle, the ocean and their minds and can be found at the Progress Space Gallery in Pomona during the months of June and July 2007.
