Corey Helford Gallery's video: Interview MICHAEL PAGE Nostalgia Kills Feat Skeletons Skateboards Dinos

For more information about Michael Page's exhibit: http://www.coreyhelfordgallery.com/shows/hikari-shimoda-2017/info-press/ Featuring fourteen new paintings, Michael Page’s latest body of work, titled “Nostalgia Kills,” expresses itself with childlike freedom. He finds himself peering into his own childhood and basing his work on its relation to his children’s imaginative world. Painting with acrylic and oil, Page creates dreamlike realms that lead the eye through an ephemeral landscape of exploding color and forum. Using free association as a technique, Page glazes each canvas with multiple layers of color to create a dream-state in which he says nostalgia resides and is ready to be expressed into form. The resulting liveliness of his work enables the viewer’s suspension of disbelief when contemplating the fantastical realities of the imagination. Of his new collection, Page says: “Now that I am a father and get to play with my kids everyday, I get to see the world and all its wonders through their eyes. As I look back over the years watching my children grow, play, and learn, it’s fascinating and heartbreaking to feel the lightning speed of time. I find myself frantically seeking to witness all my children’s little steps and moments. It’s hard to sit back and think about all of the things you should have done, or want to do for your own children.” For up-to-date news and more: http://www.coreyhelfordgallery.com/ Stay connected with us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/coreyhelfordgallery https://twitter.com/coreyhelford https://www.instagram.com/coreyhelfordgallery/ Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
