Art versus decor: People spend more time in their offices than at their homes. Instead of a painting simply serving as the final touch in the interior design scheme, Michaell’s pieces catch your eye.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Michaell's Art transforms Newport Beach City Hall, CA (February 1, 2007) – Aptly titled “Transforming Public Spaces with Art Versus Decor,” the exhibit, which runs through February 28, features twenty-nine strong, colorful works with dynamic shapes and abstract themes. Michaell Magrutsche was recently selected by Orange Coast Magazine as one of the most interesting up and coming Orange County artists. He was featured in the magazine’s September 2006 Arts & Entertainment issue. Michaell, who grew up in Vienna, Austria, was immersed in art at an early age. His uncle was well-known Austrian artist, Adolf Frohner, who, along with his contemporary artist friends, taught Michaell the power of the “abstract.” According to Michaell, his paintings are “designed to be interactive and uplifting, inviting the viewer to attempt to perceive images in varying dimensions between representational and abstract.” He specializes in custom contemporary art for offices and public spaces, as well as works for smaller spaces in homes. “Even my smaller paintings are designed to have an impact similar to large contemporary art pieces. They catch your eye, engage you and add an uplifting feeling to the room,” says Michaell. Jana Barbier, Cultural Arts Coordinator for the City of Newport Beach, expressed her appreciation for the exhibit at City Hall. “Michaell’s paintings are fun and not the kind of work traditionally found in public buildings. But, when artistic risks are taken, the effort can produce some delightful results. I am thrilled that the city of Newport Beach has taken that risk in showing Michaell’s work,” she said. Newport Beach City Hall, 3300 Newport Blvd., is open to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on the exhibit, visit the website at www.newportbeachlibrary.org under “events” or www.michaellart.com or call (949) 640-0845 or 717-3817.# # #
