Artwork Description

In this piece, the world unfolds as an impossible architecture - an Escher-like network of stairs, empty pools, and human figures repeating gestures that never quite complete themselves.

A lone orator presides over an amphitheater devoid of listeners, surrounded by divers poised above drained basins, waders suspended in their own stillness.

The work began as a meditation on structure and disconnection - on how we build systems, rituals, and performances to contain the ache of meaning.

Each impression layers another attempt at coherence, yet the space resists closure; the geometry loops, the pools remain dry, and speech dissolves into rhythm.

I think of the print as a plan for something that cannot be built - a map of the human need to speak, to be witnessed, echoing reverberation even when no one is there to hear.

Stretched on wooden frame.

Artist Bio

manVshadow - Michael E. Voss Fine Art -

I'm a painter, printmaker and draftsman based in the United States. My works have been widely exhibited nationally and collected internationally. I am also founder of the new ShadowBoxX Gallery in the growing arts district in Waukegan, IL - a northern suburb of Chicago.

My work is inspired by nature, urban spaces, inner journeys, absurdities, and working people. I'm also influenced by the old masters, the innovation of contemporary artists, the realms of mythology and psychology. Music, writing, mathematics, and technology are interwoven in my artistic journey.

I channel subconscious imagery from within through my artwork. I hope my works resonate with viewers, motivating them towards greater understanding, compassion and empathy.

I was formally trained in the sight/size realism technique, but I thrive on experimentation, often building my own tools to help me create my ideas.
