Process and inspiration flow together seamlessly in the work of T. Mikey, where complex allegories dwell in distinctive, whimsical realities. Mikey’s imagery is fun, evocative and surreal, every piece is a new step into the unknown. Viewers must proceed through each artwork’s multi-layered symbolism, a luminous pastiche of wildly colorful dreamwork interlaced with celestial themes, religion, pop culture, and world events. Mikey developed a versatile and powerful means to produce his unique brand of art.
Using a patented technique he has dubbed 3DUV, he combines numerous layers of transparent film worked with a secret formulation of paint and an assortment of multi-colored lights, finishing each piece with an elegant, light-box type frame. “It is a hybrid technique of many art forms including but not limited to painting, photography, collage, digital manipulation, large format printing, lighting design, carpentry, and sculpture,” Mikey explains. His technique is a powerful means to increase the sense of depth and dimensionality, while offering stunning effects rarely seen the world of fine art.
