Everything or Nothing
Michael St. Amand, a famous visual artist from Southwest Florida, will present his new works (including the world premiere of his E.L.E series) in Beijing. Artist Michael St. Amand is famous for his use of inner, powerful and energetic colors and his creative theme-conditions that affect human nature. His works challenge intelligence and seem contradictory, arouse discussion among viewers and continue his search for truth from a mysterious and unreal world full of problems. He leads the audience to start a journey of watching abstract narrative scenes from multiple perspectives, and combines action painting with objective themes through the operation of space, light, color and perspective.

Michael St. Amand’s paintings need us to observe the world in a new way, considering both our interdependence and the universality of our existence. We are forced to realize the influence of our indifference and ask ourselves what our responsibility is and how much we are willing to give. The themes that run through Michael St. Amand’s works cover a wide range, which shows armand’s insight into the relationship between these themes, such as the disintegration of science and technology, social interaction, environmental damage, socio-economic impact and social obsession with youth, which are only a small part. He is willing to explore the unknown, bring our attention back to what we often ignore, and remind us that beauty exists in our struggle and struggle. It can be clearly seen that there is a deeply rooted spiritual power in his works.
