Michael Gadlin
Michael Gadlin’s artistry is an increasingly recognized phenomenon in the art world. Rimmed in spontaneity, his 15-year repertoire expresses a singular uninterrupted brush stroke of Mediterranean, European and Western influences. From his early years of surrealistic impressionism until now, Michael Gadlin's work reflects an improvisational inventiveness that has garnered a loyal following among the art elite. His artistic conviction that “Direct expressionism is the most meaningful reflection of life” has prompted the evolution of an extremely cogent and intriguing portfolio of 21st century art.
Exhibiting in select galleries and museums nationwide, Gadlin has been commissioned by governments, Fortune 100 corporations and private collectors, and has been exuberantly heralded in the press.” Born in Denver, Colorado, Michael Gadlin has been exhibiting work throughout the United States for over 15 years.
In 1999 Gadlin was the youngest artist ever to win “Best of Show” at Denver’s nationally renowned Cherry Creek Arts Festival. The Vance Kirkland Museum acquired a Work of his as part of their permanent collection. Gadlin’s well-received public art installation, which was completed in 2004, hangs permanently in Denver’s District 2 Police Station. The Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art selected Gadlin to be included in the museum’s 2008 “Rocky Mountain Biennial”.
