House of Balloons
Original collage on 90lb 100% cotton Stonehenge paper
This new series from Michael DeSutter is a visualization of the passage of time. Each piece is named after an album that holds implicit memories for the artist, coding the work to a particular point in his life most recognized to him now by the songs of these albums. While working on Implicits in his studio, an old album came on and DeSutter was immediately transported to an earlier time in life — vague memories and ineffable feelings crept in. As he continued to work on this collage series, he began listening to other albums from his past.

BOBBY BERK ON MICHAEL DESUTTER
“From a distance, this piece feels quite simple and straightforward. But when you look up close, it's a complex and really engaging work that has a lot of layers to it.”
