aotd: “A Desire To Be” by Mike Binzer

May 7, 2008

Todays piece is from an artist out of Calgary, Canada. He studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design and graduated with Distinction.

He recently moved his website around and added more work to it, and while looking around I was really caught by the piece shown. It’s oil on canvas and is a very large 84″ x 72″. I really like the mix of the figure and the abstract kind of texture that the figure is emerging from. This is one of the main reasons I love the work of Ian Francis, but with the work of Mike Binzer it is a little more textural. He also has quite a large amount of work to be seen on his website, so head on over and take a look.
