Jacob Magraw-Mickleson

I tend to be picky about what I can only call “rainbow-ish art.” I have an odd resistance to certain usage of *IN YOUR FACE* color. But Jacob Magraw-Mickelson manages to make brilliant use of a very varied color palette.

I love his sinewy, plant-like structures, like the flora of an alien world.

This next one looks like someone decorated the Matterhorn for a party, and did a stellar job.

Some strands of color have an almost “vascular” quality to them. So difficult not to anthropomorphize…

See more on the artist site.

There’s a great collection on the Richard Heller Gallery site.
