Clio Art Fair Spotlight: A review by Michael Yurick

Artist Michael Yurick with his artworks showcased at Clio Art Fair's 22nd Edition, May 7-10, 2026

"My raised relief mixed media collage works are based on the deconstruction of the grid, bringing it to ruin then back to life. Capturing photographic images within a fleeting moment of time when the sun is not too high and positioned at a desired angle a figure is posed. At that moment the elongated and distorted cast is captured. The collage is then constructed as a study of the individual or object, giving each completed work a personality of its own. In time, these mixed media works evolved into the combined use of other found elements and textures such as paint, metallic color, corrugated cardboard, museum board and paper. The raised construction, combined with relief, gives an added dimension of the movement of light and shadow."
