Korber the Surrealist

This next Tuesday, March 4, premieres in Canvas Fine Art Gallery, the exhibition titled "De la tela piel", with impressionist and surrealist works by artist Michael Korber with addition of five models of the body painting by artist Carlos Trevino, who in these works reflected his impression of Korber's work on bodies.

An accomplished colorist, Korber is distinguished as an artist whose work provokes a response. Korber is the creator of one that finds its power in color, shapes and, especially, in the movement.

Michael Korber, winner of the Grand Prix des Arts at the Malta International Art Biennale, has a style that aims not get into traditional patterns.

However, without fear of falling into the mistake, it is arguable that Korber has an expressionist and surrealist style. Another important award for Korber was his first place in the Grolla Grafica d'Oro di Traverso, in Italy, in 2002.

Michael Korber born in Brooklyn, New York, and currently resides in Prague. Studied at Pratt Institute School of Design in New York City and trained under Manuel Vega Atelier New York, was "Senior Art Director" of Caribiner Inc., in Puerto Rico, Creative Director Gonzalez Padin chain on the island and curator in West End Fine Arts Gallery.

He has exhibited his work in the United States, United Kingdom, Venezuela, Spain, Lebanon, Egypt, Germany, Puerto Rico, France, Malta, Italy, and Luxembourg.
