Michael Wille
For this weeks artist research we had another student's choice. Since the painting and drawing list is so long I wanted to find another artist within it whose work I enjoyed. After looking through just a handful I stumbled upon Michael Wille's work and was suddenly fascinated by his abstract paintings. His works are simple, geometric and colorful in general. He uses several techniques to portray an variety of moods with seemingly little effort. Each has their own color scheme, collection of shapes and story to tell. He has several different series of works that each have their own pattern of overlapping and placement.

Michael Wille is another artist who doesn't have a whole lot of biographical information online. According to his website, he currently resides in Normal, Illinois, but has been a part of several group and solo exhibitions around the globe including venues such as the Space Art Gallery in Pittsburgh, Hoffman LaChance Contemporary in St. Louis, Resolution Gallery in Johannesburg (South Africa) and the University of Mississippi Art Gallery. A number of his works can also be viewed at corporate businesses like The Four Seasons Hotel in Boston, Vinson and Elkins (LLC) in Houston, The Benzinger Family Wineries in California and the Renaissance Suites Hotel in Chicago.
