It is a rare and celebrated occasion when an artist is discovered that has a unique talent, fresh vision and the ability to transcend artistic predisposition. Contemporary painter MICHAEL FLOHR is just such an artist. Depicting ordinary moments in extraordinary ways, Flohr's work displays an artistic mastery of color, perspective, technique and vision, Largely urban in content with a European flair, his paintings cover subject matter ranging from nightlife scenes, cityscapes, still lifes and figurative portraiture. Flohr's paintings are a patchwork of avant-garde, impressionistic color exhibiting a stylistic fortitude that succeeds in redefining impressionism and abstract expressionism. Static movement is uniquely portrayed in his work through his brushstroke technique, masterful use of light and sumptuous, yet somber color. His paintings have an eerie ability to capture a fleeting moment, as if from a peripheral vision, resulting in a permanent "deja vu" for the outsider looking in. Bordering the surreal, yet strangely familiar, Flohr's images capture what seem to be the artist's furious study of a gloriously regular moment in time. A moment it seems in which many can relate.
