Canvas Assemblages: A Fusion of Expressionism and Realism

Michael G. Booth’s Canvas Assemblages showcase the breathtaking landscapes of Glacier National Park through an innovative artistic approach. These original canvas assemblages merge Expressionism and Realism, where the academic precision of Realism is heightened by the emotional intensity of Expressionism. The result is a striking balance between intellectual representation and intuitive energy, allowing viewers to experience both clarity and profound emotion within a single piece.

“Pack String and Mount Gould”, is a one-of-a-kind assemblage of uniquely designed canvases that have been composed into a true work of art.  It blends academic Realism with emotional Abstraction into an inspiring piece of tranquility and depicts the beauty of Glacier National Park and a pack-string of horses.

Booth’s technique creates a dynamic visual journey, guiding the eye from expressive, free-flowing brushwork on the outer edges toward a meticulously detailed center. This juxtaposition of movement and precision enhances the immersive quality of his work, making each scene feel alive. The contrast between these opposing styles not only adds depth but also amplifies the mood, making the landscapes more inspiring and evocative.

“Three Bucks at the Forest Edge”
Michael’s use of red-orange and green-blue complimentary colors have created an exquisite showpiece in “Three Bucks at Forest Edge.”  This canvas-assemblage presents the essence of beauty wherever it is showcased.

By assembling multiple thick canvases, Booth pushes the boundaries of traditional painting, transforming two-dimensional paintings into three-dimensional sculptural compositions. This structural approach encourages the viewer to experience his work from different perspectives, further enhancing the emotional and visual impact. His unique fusion of artistic techniques makes these assemblages not just paintings, but powerful experiences that capture both the grandeur and spirit of Glacier National Park.
