Artist bio:
Award-winning artist Michael Curry creates one-of-a-kind wall sculptures for public, corporate, and private collections. Constructed with innovative, three dimensional techniques, these hand cut mosaics offer kinetic appeal, melding both color and shape. Michael collaborates with curators, architects, engineers, and interior teams, to ensure that his works fit seamlessly into a unified design. Originally from the Chicago area, Michael received his MFA from Florida State University/Asolo Conservatory and began his career in the New York theatre arena. After a 15 year span that culminated in a long running Broadway show, his creative journey yielded inspiration that steered him onto the visual arts path and launched his career as a mosaic artist in 2000. With his studio located in midtown Manhattan, much of Michael's work is focused in New York City and surrounding areas, including works on permanent display in the Empire State Building, the lobby of Jackson Park LIC, and the world-renowned Mt. Sinai Hospitals. Works on public display include the lobbies of Miami’s East Hotel and JW Marriott Marquis, and on nine floors of the ProMedica Generations Tower in Toledo, Ohio. Michael's works have been featured at MoMath: The National Museum of Mathematics in lower Manhattan, and he has been a regular presenter at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show. His most recent solo gallery exhibition was at FX Collaborative, with past exhibitions at Gallery Plan B in Washington DC, and Club H in Manhattan.
