This Week Michael Norman Gute, fundraiser by day and up-and-coming Detroit painter by night. He talks about his day gig informing his artistry and how it all works together for good.

I use painting, drawing, and scratching veiled over one another to build an accumulation of experience and memory. I’m aware of my intuition and appreciate how the body and mind work in choreography to mark the surface. Paintings validate the artist’s body. They are products of our performance as well as reinforcements of hope and faith. Hope stays the artist through the working of a painting and faith tells them it’s finished.

This week we host, dance photographer, natural bodybuilder, nutritionist, ninjitsu instructor, personal trainer, superhero, and my friend Kevin Richardson He explains how he came to be a photographer and superhero enthusiast. A man of many talents.
"... with Dance As Art the idea is threefold. Firstly it is a celebration of the beauty of dance. A tribute to the amazingly talented dancers of New York City. Secondly, it is a reminder of the importance of art as part of what makes New York the city that we know and love. The dancers stand as representatives of all artists, the artists who are the creative soul of our City and without them, there is an emptiness that no new incoming population can fill. Finally, it is a street show. Every photoshoot brings the art of dance back to the people, drawing crowds, sometimes in the hundreds, of spectators who have a chance to see our artists dancing in the streets. Which to me is exactly where they should be. Support the arts, remember the artists, and thanks for taking the time to look at my work."

Timothy UfuomaEfe Orikri is a freelance artist whose style varies from semi-realism to abstract paintings, hand-painted ceramics, and music. Although currently residing in Michigan, he was born the son of a Baptist minister in Delta State, southern Nigeria. It’s not surprising that this early upbringing has been influential on his perception of the world. His artistic desires – much like the messages given by his father from the pulpit – come in themes of hope, harmony, and the gift of nature. His sincere lifelong desire is to use a wide spectrum of vibrant colors and mixed mediums to create a secure world in which humanity is restored to God’s intended pure state for a man at the dawn of creation.
