MICHAEL DEMENG
ANGELS AND DEMONS
ETHEREAL ENVOYS AND TERRIBLE TROUBLEMAKER.
In this workshop students will explore the balance between the heavenly and the horrible in one piece of art using the processes of assemblage, sculpture and painting. Students will create a found-object shrine of angels and demons, but the really exciting part about this project is that the piece will be totally reversible; sometimes the good guys are on top, sometime the bad guys. Depending on the kind of day you’re having can determine how you display it. Get ready for an epic artistic battle of the ages.
DATES: May 15-23, 2020
PRICE: $3695 USD
THEME: Start with a visit to an antique market to source some local treasures. Using your found objects, create a shrine inspired by Luca Signorelli’s work The Damned. You will create your own reversible tribute to the heaven and the horrible.
