Michael Eastman painting  57 with Bird

Description: In his engaging, puzzle-like paintings Michael Eastman uses words and figures as abstract elements and sometimes for their meaning as well. These works are not literal puzzles to be solved, instead they are artworks to be puzzled over: it is up to the viewer to discern whether a word or number is a message or simply a mark. View detail. Eastman often uses graffiti-like writing in making his paintings. This series of paintings is called "Printed Matter Redesigned". Eastman uses his commercial design background to vastly improve familiar print media. Note: the dates on this painting reflect that it was painted, then subsequently repainted and altered significantly at the later date.

Since Michael Eastman enjoys aping the look of naive art, we place him in that category. But, Eastman's approach to his work is cerebral, often witty, and quite abstract--not at all the urgent, direct attitude typical of a naïf or outsider artist.Visit the Tribeca studio of Michael Eastman whose work is included in the collection of Hirshhorn Museum (Washington,DC) and the Mauntner-Markof Collection (Vienna, Austria).
