These unusual ladies' chairs exemplify the beauty of exaggerated proportions. Each chair features a small, round seat, charmingly counterbalanced by wide back panels. A black lacquer finish accentuates the interplay of lines drawn by the splayed legs and arched back. The scalloped back panels are delicately brushed with red and gold paintings of a serene mountainous landscape. Influenced by European designs, these early 20th century side chairs are uniquely sculptural and add a certain playfulness to their surroundings.

From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

Michael Thompson

b. 1951

Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past & present.

His body of work spans across a range of art forms, from experimental postal art to paper collage to sculptures assembled from scrap metal and ceramic shards.

Regardless of the medium, each of Thompson’s works is layered with fragments of past lives and bygone memories, measured in the form of antique fabric remnants, printed ephemera and other found elements collected during his travels.
