Picture, a showing of several large-scale works by Erick Benson, Dan Ford,
Jeana Klein, Walter Kravits and Guy Richards Smit; Trace Extender, an

Michael Banks
Nancy Thomas Gallery, 145 Ballard St, Yorktown
Exhibit showing September 22nd through October 19th.
Nancy Thomas will show a large collection of the work
of Alabama self-taught artist Michael
Banks at her Yorktown Gallery. Nancy’s show makes
available to art lovers one of the country’s foremost, most recognized painters
of the new American folk art. Over the years Michael’s experimenting has lead
him to his current technique of applying roofing tar on primed plywood,
painting it and incising with tools to highlight his figures. Even with tar and
plywood as a base - which you would know only because you have been made aware
– Michael’s work is masterful in its color, in its graphic impact and it sense
of meaning and mystery.
