Michael Pfleghaar

pfleghaar's Shop Announcement

My work does not fit easily into one category. It covers many genres from figurative, still life, to landscape, and deals with themes of design, architecture, modern life, and botanical elements.

Michael Pfleghaar makes his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan and is best known for his colorful oil pastel drawings and oil paintings. His style is expressive and exaggerated, dealing with subjects ranging from still life, interiors, and landscapes to figurative images. His interpretations of interior spaces, furniture, and objects often portray very human characteristics in their movement, shape, and postures. Pfleghaar is extremely conscious of how objects relate, choosing to create “visual conversations” through how he positions them in the same composition.

In addition to painting, Pfleghaar has begun working in terra cotta and stoneware clay, forming each piece from clay with the same personality and use of color, curves, and exaggeration as in his two dimensional artwork. Focusing on vases, teapots, and organic sculptures, his pieces are all influenced by the human form. Each one seemingly re-interprets the human body.

Currently Michael is pursuing his MFA at the Art Institute of Boston.
