Mike Weiss Gallery is pleased to present Michael Brown’s second solo show with the gallery, in the meantime…. For this body of work, the thirty-three year old artist hand-cuts and polishes stainless steel until he has recreated a broken mirror. Brown embarked on the series in 2006 and began exhibiting the works internationally in 2007 with Yvon Lambert Gallery. The exhibition will feature eight works all in stainless steel with artist's frames and measuring 84 inches in height and 48 inches in width.
Brown begins abruptly, striking the surface of actual mirrors and surveying the cracks for appealing patterns to recreate.  Beyond this initial stage, however, the process is arduous and painstaking. For each work, Brown must cut and polish hundreds of pieces of stainless steel. Yet the imagery is still defined by immediacy – it conjures frustration and angst but also seems to capture an impulsive and gratifying moment of release, where deep-seated feelings surface and become tangible
