Michael Banks Mixed Media 6x14 "Fire Carrier" WP6286

This striking mixed-media work by Michael Banks features an elongated figure set against a vibrant blue background, creating a dramatic contrast with the heavily textured red and black form. Constructed from reclaimed roofing material or tar paper and mounted on a salvaged wood base, the piece demonstrates Banks' unique ability to transform discarded materials into expressive contemporary art.

The figure's surface is alive with texture, layered color, and carved linear details that reveal the artist's hand throughout the composition. The bright red form appears to glow against the cool blue field, giving the work a strong visual presence despite its modest size. Like much of Banks' work, the piece exists between portrait, symbol, and abstraction, inviting viewers to create their own interpretation.

The piece is 6" wide and 14.5" long.
