The Art Exhibit at The MAIN will be featuring collected drawings from artist Mike Farrell from Thursday, June 1 to Friday, June 30. A reception for the gallery will be held on Thursday, June 15 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
A statement from Farrell:
“As a largely self-taught artist who has been scratching away on paper his whole life, I’ve always tried to bring intelligence, a sense of craft and a bit of humor to my work. I’ve always thought that the best teacher you can have is sitting at your table, concentrating on the drawing at hand. Hopefully, my drawings show the hours that go into their creation.
I work almost entirely from my own imagination. I do spend quite a bit of time online researching relevant details and color schemes, but the original idea is just something that pops into being whenever it’s ready. I also use digital tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to help me finalize my layouts. I always do multiple sketches, each progressively more detailed, until I have a final full size version which is then transferred to the final drawing paper. Along with multiple color studies, prep work can take half as much time for any one drawing.”

I have followed Mike’s work for 45 years, acquiring my first piece in the middle seventy’s. The detail has always been layered and entwined, calming, and inviting. His developed characters are warmly comedic. Wel worth a trip to the exhibit

I’ve also followed Mike’s progress with his art. His dedication, humor, imagination and detail are all amazing. It’s time more people see his work. Well worth the visit.
