n the blink of an eye you might miss one of these lightning fast installations by exciting contemporary artist T. Mikey.
3DUV, an acronym for “Three Dimensional Ultraviolet”, is a unique and compelling art form of the artist’s original design utilizing a multi-planar approach to image making in order to create a highly convincing photo realistic illusion of three-dimensional space and form. Hand painted in phosphorescent materials the entire image is self-illuminating in neon colors when lit by the invisibly installed ultraviolet lighting concealed in its stunningly constructed light box style frame. A masterful execution of scale as these 8 foot panoramas encompass your peripheral vision in an electric dreamscape of curiosity that you feel like you could reach out and touch.
Kinetic in nature the image seems to watch you as you pass instantly transporting your imagination to the world T. Mikey would deliver you to. In this display, violins bow a soothing melody as he brings us not only to the Moon, but also to Wonderland itself.
“Picnic on the Moon” 2007, and “Alice in Mikeyland” 2007, are modern day surrealistic wonders, offering a level of hyper detail and near limitless nuance that are sure to keep your eyes and your mind dazzled as you discover something new each and every time you look at it.
The pieces then vanish as quickly as they appear, as they are packed off to their next destination in a beautiful flash of installation. To experience this work is as haunting long after you leave, as it is hypnotic in person.
