East Hampton artist Michael Weisman’s art is in homage to the music he loves, the performers who recorded it, and the glitz and glamour of show-biz past. As his work has progressed over the decades, it has gone from relatively static colored pencil drawings to mixed media extravaganzas — many encrusted with gemstones. He has also expanded his range of subject matter. Whereas his early work focused mainly on the classic girl groups of the 1960s (ie, the Supremes), lately he has ventured into the musical artists of the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond.
This is his first solo show, and also the first time the majority of his work is on display to the public.
