Michael Swann Opening Reception
ArtsRevive and Gallery 905 welcome Birmingham artist Michael Swann for Person Detected, an exhibition exploring memory, human connection, spiritualism, and moments of personal revelation.
“When memories are well built.
When flames remain.
When shadows are held.
This is a person detected.”Swann describes the works in Person Detected as reflections of those moments in life when we are fortunate enough to experience a revelation, spiritual or otherwise, about ourselves or another person.
Primarily a painter, Swann works across a variety of media and techniques. In addition to traditional oil painting, his work incorporates printmaking, airbrushing, and materials and techniques commonly used in the automotive field. His creative process often begins with a plan before becoming increasingly intuitive, allowing the work itself to help guide its final form.
Swann earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts from Birmingham-Southern College and is a lifelong resident of Birmingham, Alabama. His work has appeared in museums and galleries from Atlanta to Anchorage, including the Wiregrass Biennial, Annual Bi-State Art Competition, Red Clay Survey, and Southeastern Juried Exhibition. His Person Detected series was presented as a solo exhibition at the Gadsden Museum of Art in 2023.
In addition to his own artistic practice, Swann is a longtime supporter of Alabama artists and the state’s arts community and owns Gallery Vox, a contemporary art space in Tarrant, Alabama.
Join us at Gallery 905 on Thursday, September 3rd at 5:30 PM for the opening reception and an opportunity to meet the artist and experience Person Detected.
