Mike Challenger

Extra Version

Mike Challenger - "Extra Version": In his original art (Sculpture, painting and serigraphy) Mike Challenger examines the interplay of shape, form and color. Edward Lucie-Smith writes, "Michael Challenger seems obsessed with meticulous smoothness. His work depends on precision. Challenger's paintings, sculpture and prints explore a curious and fascinating world of perspective distortions. What he deals in are visual impossibilities, but impossibilities of a subtle, rather than a brutal kind."

Created in 1977, "Extra Version" is one of the artist's largest and most impressive works of graphic art. It was printed and published in a sole, limited edition of fifty signed and numbered impressions. This impression is signed, titled and numbered by the British artist, Mike Challenger in pencil.

	In some ways, Mike Challenger’s art recalls the work of other masters of compelling perspectives, such as M. C. Escher or Albers. Yet his work is distinctly his own and Michael Challenger credits the music of Eric Satie as one of his primary inspirations. In a sense his forms and colors react as a musical composition, exploring both dissonance and resonance. These optical conundrums lie at the heart of Michael Challenger's art. Such is clearly the case with this original silkscreen entitled, "Extra Version".
