Marty Maehr: Etched in Light
Marty Maehr, Valourous Heart, Oil on Canvas
About Marty Maehr:
Like hypnotic stained glass windows, Marty Maehr’s beautiful abstract paintings seem etched with light and energy. Configurations of colorful shapes, usually outlined in black, are puzzled together to form sprawling landscapes including plants, animals and architecture. With a keen sense for composition, Maehr’s creative process produces a wonderful feeling of movement as the line work flows together and shimmering, multicolored shapes converge in an orchestra of brilliant hues. In both content and style, Maehr’s art is instantly accessible to people from all walks of life. “My only goal as an artist is to develop naturally and in a genuine way,” he explains. “If nothing else, I'd like my artwork to be honest and sincere.”
Drawing inspiration from such titans of literature as Plato, Nietzche and Emerson, Maehr’s artwork celebrates the exquisite moments of life and its ever-present connection to nature. Maehr’s career in the arts continues to develop as he has recently acquired gallery representation in New York. Maehr lives and works in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

About Quintessential Color
Contemporary visual art that is both eye-catching and emotionally stirring, consisting of panels resonating the seasons of nature and tides of personal emotion, are the components of this sophisticated collective exhibition. The quirky fusions of brilliant hues and energizing flow of light in spatial associations evoke joyful effervescence in abstract contexts. They are contrasted by the finesse of organic painting with its simplicity, comfort and ethereal gentility in subtly tinted landscapes. The outstanding endowment of these contemporary artists in the deft use of color repeatedly conveys conceptual flair and perceptive artistry that honors their authenticity and skill.
