About the Artist:
Michael Kachan was born in the countryside of Armenia in 1964. There, he completed secondary school and was a noteworthy student specializing in art. In 1985, he graduated with honors from the Kiev Institute of Arts. He immigrated to Israel with his family in 1992. A playful and festive atmosphere characterizes his works. His colors are vibrant and celebratory, and his subjects are primarily centered on musicians, lovers and dreamers, suggesting the influences of the 20th century master, Marc Chagall and the Bolivian artist, Boulanger. He works mostly in acrylic on canvas, using the human figure as an expressive element, building up the surface of the canvas with deep sculpted textures and overlays of pigments. He interprets his paintings into original serigraphs and hand-embellished serigraphs on canvas with a similar textural effect and achieves a luminosity of color through a combination of varnished inks and glazings.
