#GrandRapids Art News: Michigan Artist included in national painting exhibition - Chicago FineArt

Michigan-based artist Michael Pfleghaar will be included in Chicago Fresh Paint Exhibition.

If you have not seen Pfleghaar's most recent work, then you are missing some of the most exciting works of his painting career.

The National Wet Paint Exhibition consists of 45 paintings by artists selected from a national call which resulted in 280 submissions.

The exhibition takes place in the main gallery of the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood.

Pfleghaar will be attending the Chicago 1/21 opening reception, but if you miss this night, I do recommend stopping by the gallery and see first-hand his and all the exciting works on display.

Zhou B Art Center, 1029 W. 35th St, 1st Floor, Chicago, IL 60609
Opening Date/Reception: Friday, January 21, 2011
Time: 7 pm to 10 pm

Exhibitions Dates: January 21 to March 12, 2011

Gallery Hours: Monday through Friday, 10 am to 5 pm and Saturday noon to 5 pm.

@Pfleghaar posts his 1st Kickstarter project on line. A new chapter begins and you can be a part of it. http://kck.st/eKydx9

When Michael finishes his graduate work at Boston's AIB a whole new chapter begins and you have a chance to not only write a page of this history, but you can decide what level you want to author it.

Collectors of Pfleghaar's art may recall that about 20 years ago he did a small series of paintings created from his time spent in France.

These few but now classic pieces produced on that last trip have become some of his most sought after works by collectors and galleries.

Now we enter a new time period with new tools at our disposal as artists and the results truly do benefit the artist and the collector.

Please consider this exciting Austrian project and the opportunities that await him.

Cheers!

Pfleghaar Posts My 2000 Documentary

Michael has informed me that he has posted the 2000 documentary I directed about the creation of his large oil on canvas artwork, "Living Large"

Please enjoy and drop a note here if you enjoyed it. I guess due to You Tube guidelines he had to post it in two parts so be sure to catch the whole doc.

I am very proud of it.

Part One


Part Two
