About the Item

Michael Sheets (American, born 1947) Signed: SHEETS 1981 (Lower, Right) " Break Time ", 1981 Acrylic on canvas 32" x 48" Housed in a 1/2 Silver Metal Frame Overall Size: 32 1/2" x 48 1/2" In very good original condition. Michael Sheets has been an active and prolific painter for more than three decades. His works are included in over 200 private, corporate, and public collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Identified by Louis K. Meisel in 1980 as a second-generation Photo-Realist, his work has been written about and discussed by critics as prominent and varied as Donald Kuspit and John Arthur. As early as 1985, it drew the attention of curators such as Lisa Lyons, as well as Eleanor Heartney, then editor of the New Art Examiner. Among the more notable media appearances have been an article about his paintings that was published in American Artist Magazine, the inclusion of his work in New American Painting, and an advertisement for Absolut Vodka that featured one of his Stones Series. The latter ran in both USA Today newspaper and in Time Magazine. It has also been included in histories of that well-known ad campaign. Bio via the Artist's Website
