Magic People
Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
Leeds artist and performer Mik Artistik showcases a series of portraits in mixed media.
Mik's portraits are created by invitation at his home in Armley during a 4 -5 hour live sitting which he calls "meetings across a canvas". His sitters, initially strangers seen time and again around Leeds at gigs, cinema queues, parties are described as "my cheery sparks", characters who through chance encounters have intrigued Mik over the years.
Mik employs the act of portraiture to bridge the divide between strangers. These short sittings allow no second chances. Paint, pastel, brushes, fingers scramble to capture those who "are breaking out of their skin with power, energy and crackle". These large canvasses stand as social documentary of a cross-section of Leeds society and inflate the sitter to a stature bordering on urban myth.
These are Mik's magic people, his everyday heroes.
