- Collected
by Francis Ford Coppola and Warren Beatty on the West Coast all the
way to The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. on the east, the
art of Michael Hussar is quickly becoming The Next Big Thing
in the underground art community. The artist "guesses" his paintings
are about two worlds, the real and the unreal, coexisting with blurred
boundaries. He sees his paintings as a voyeuristic snap shot of perceived
humanity, complete with freaks and fakery; a gothic wonderland illuminating
the gray area between truths and lies. Hussar has in fact worked in
the fantasy world of the entertainment industry, painting murals for
television, film and magazine illustration, which he says nearly swallowed
him whole, but now the experiences fuel his work. He currently teaches
at Art Center in Pasadena.
