Woman in Garden with Hands Crossed 1998 ,Michael Carey, (1948-2017)

This 1998 paint stick and mixed media on rag paper scene is by Michael Carey (1948-2017). Michael John Carey, was a Bay Area sculptor, painter and musician who lived and worked in Berkeley, California from 1978 through 2017. Like fellow Bay Area artists, William T. Wiley, Roy De Forest and Joan Brown, Michael Carey developed a recognizable “personal mythology” of recurring symbols, motifs and materials that conveyed his sense of cosmic truth. These symbols consistently populate his sculpture, painting and works on paper. Carey said, “I had the idea to try to create work that was free of traditional references to modernism—to attempt a visual vocabulary that could be universal.Excellent vintage condition.
