Michael Corsar
Michael Corsar is a Glasgow based contemporary artist who was born in 1972. He studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee from 1992–1996 and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, Drawing and Painting. Artists such as Gerhard Richter, Casper David Friedrich and Edward Hopper provided him with an early introduction to the romance of tone and the importance of drawing.
Light and, specifically, its interaction with clouds, water and architecture is what most inspires him. Starting from an almost black canvas, and primarily working in oils, Corsar gradually teases out images, removing darkness and illuminating a scene. Working on the whole from memory, his paintings are reflections of inner thoughts and feelings at specific moments in time, rather than straightforward representations of an actual place. This leaves space for the viewer to imbue the painting with their own contemplations.
