Flight by Anton Michielse is a powerful exploration of texture and form, crafted with industrial materials like panslag, cement, plaster, and black sand. Anchored by a central, layered structure, the composition evokes the complexity of geological or architectural formations. Its earthy palette of greys and muted tones enhances the raw, elemental character, while darker shades add depth and drama. Michielse’s innovative techniques create a tactile richness, where overlapping forms convey movement, tension, and release. The dynamic interplay of light and shadow amplifies the title’s essence, suggesting ascension or escape. Blending a sculptural sensibility with abstract poetics, Flight exemplifies Michielse’s mastery of material painting, aligning with artists who redefined texture and form in contemporary art.
