Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty
I'm nearly blind. But, there's nothing wrong with my eyes. Sometimes, I just don't see things. There's no attempt to look. When I wake up, it can be pitch black and I can perform countless mundane tasks to prepare for the day without seeing anything. And when the sun rises and I flip the switches, it's likely my lazy blindness will continue through the day. That needs to change.
What do you see? Take a moment to close you eyes and clear your mind. Now, really look at the painting; the subject, colors, shapes, etc. How does this image make you feel? Do you think I saw and felt the same things you do when I created the painting? Is this a literal subject or is there a metaphor? It was 2017 when it was created, does it mean something different now? Why?
I don't want to be blind by choice. It's a cold and dark mindset. We need to break our visual routine to see the world as it is. And what it could be. So let's get away from the screens for a moment and look as something; anything. What is it? Who made it and why? Where was it created and how did it end up here? How old is it and would its maker(s) think of it differently now? Do you see things a bit differently now?

💣 Does It Matter? 💣:
Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan.

From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Center, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Lurie Children's Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art.
