The Newport Beach Centennial Commission Is
Pleased To Present The Works Of Artist Michaell MagrutscheContemporary
Art For Small Spaces
Today’s contemporary art pieces are mostly made for over-sized wall spaces and measure 50” by 70” and larger. The common perception is that the canvas must be big in order to have the desired “contemporary art“ effect. Since the majority of people do not have the necessary wall space to hang large pieces, Michaell took on the challenge to create art to fit smaller spaces and smaller budgets. “I have created a number paintings, each with its own series, which provide the feeling of powerful contemporary art pieces, yet on a smaller scale. Instead of simply serving as ‘filler,’ these pieces catch your eye, engage you, and enhance the feel of the room.

Typically, viewers are captured by the colors of Michaell’s paintings, and then attempt to perceive either a concrete or an abstract image. About
The Artist:
Michaell Magrutsche was born in Vienna, Austria and grew up surrounded by the
art and beauty of Europe.
Michaell was exposed to Modern Art at an early age.
Growing up in his home with its collection of art by his uncle, the
famous Austrian painter
Adolf
Frohner,
and meeting his uncle’s peers (i.e., Wolfgang Hutter, Arik Brauer, Ernst
Fuchs, etc.) taught aroused in Michaell the power of Abstract. Being an Artist: “As long as I can remember, I have been involved with art in one form or another: from being a disc jockey to producing fashion shows, to international TV production/ directing, to screenwriting, and to creating music and paintings. I enjoy the on-going process of becoming aware of how art touches me. Art forces me to focus on what's ‘more real,’ not unlike beauty and nature." My
Process - The Story Behind My Pictures:
“I
try to leave my personal life behind or at the psychiatrist’s office.
A
clear mind allows me to only transfer my pure, creative inspirations onto
canvas.”
“I don’t have to look inside to find my pictures.
Over the years, I have learned to be patient and open up to my
creativity, allowing my pictures to bubble to the surface.
Sometimes I start a project and it may take 7 years to complete, such as
my painting ‘Life.’
I usually paint two or more pictures at a time to keep the creative flow
uninterrupted.” This
press release has been created for the purpose of informing the general public
of Michaell’s scheduled art exhibition “Exploring The Liminal – The
Space In Between Abstract & Concrete” from July 4 to August 1, 2006 at

MICHAELL'S
UPBEAT ABSTRACTS
Why
Upbeat Abstracts?
Like
most artists, the question of "What is art?" was continuously on Michaell Magrutsche's mind.
Finally, Michaell arrived at a definition that made the most sense to him.
"Art is what inspires," meaning uplifting and upbeat.
A
year ago, Michaell's wife, Londonn, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through
creating his art, Michaell
Michaell was born in Vienna, Austria and has been influenced by the art and beauty of European Abstract painters. Michaell
moved to Southern California approximately 20 years ago and began painting in 1994. This art exhibit demonstrates Michaell's ability to capture the power of
