ARCHIVE PANSY BASKET
The basket pieces are essentially perspective drawings that describe an everyday object reduced to a very simplified form. Ideas around the depiction of three-dimensional objects within a two-dimensional surface have always interested Michael, the architectural perspective drawing being just one example. In these pieces he uses optical colors and high contrast black and white to challenge the eye while engaging the brain, always questioning how, why, and what we perceive.
MICHAEL MCGUIRE
A foray into architectural school in the 1980s did not dissuade Michael from a career as an artist. In fact, he still finds himself engaged with many of the concepts and practices of architecture and urban planning. His work is a reflection of these interests and his drawings derive primarily from the processes and old-school tools of architectural drawing melded with a love of contemporary art.
