Possibilities: A solo exhibition featuring Michael Safran

"Possibilities" is a solo exhibition presented by Michael Safran at the Cornerstone Gallery from March 7th - May 2nd, 2026. 

Safran shares:

Originally from the Great Lakes region, I have lived in the Rocky Mountains for over 22 years currently home in Northern Colorado. I love the wilderness and timeless spirit of the ancient land along with the myriad subtle forms to be found in the unadulterated landscape. The lines and feelings in my artwork develop naturally here. Yet, the geometry of the urban spaces and assimilating varying perspectives are vital to my seeing as well. I’m always learning, re-inventing and seeking new input and experience on this ever unfolding creative journey. My art is about communication that helps transform our reality, shapes unique perspectives, expresses the One, and opens up a greater awareness of the possibilities. It is an integral part of both my own and other’s evolution.

The possibilities in my artwork are always expanding and evolving. My creative source is like the center of a wheel with spokes that reach out to all areas of life: literature, philosophy, history, science, nature and mythology. As the artist I seek nourishment and inspiration from the whole. The journey and process of learning and growing itself serves as the incentive and inspiration. My handmade acrylic paintings are the fruit of my attention and experience.

My painting is intrinsically related to music, as sound and rhythm help create the vision and movement. I believe the eyes and ears are close in communication. The paintings are composed in a similar way as songs. There is a natural mathematic in music that lends itself well to patterns on the canvas.

Artist bio:

I’ve lived in the Rocky Mountains since 2003. The mountains teach me an appreciation for the unadulterated wilderness, quiet, and possibility that stems from an expanded sense of time and space. The forms and feelings in my artwork directly result from paying attention to the natural world. There is an inherent creativity and sense of renewal that keeps the mind open to new ideas and ways of expressing the true self of the artist. My acrylic paintings are handmade, one of a kind, and original to my own mind. As a fusion of archetypal form and idea, they are inspired by the pure geometry of nature and music.
