Michael DeMeng

A BFA graduate of Montana State University in 1990, Michael is the recipient of many awards including the Liquitex Excellence in Art, 1999. His work is about transformations.  It is about the transformation of the common into the sacred.  Discarded materials find new and unexpected uses in his work; they are reassembled and conjoined with unlikely components, a form of rebirth from the ashes into new life and new meaning.   These assemblages are metaphors for the evolutions and revolutions of existence:  from life to death to rebirth, from new to old to renewed, from construction to destruction to reconstruction.  These forms are examinations of the world in perpetual flux, where meaning and function are ever-changing.
