Art & Music

Michael Cheval is one of the world’s leading contemporary artists, specializing in Absurdist paintings, drawings and portraits. Cheval invites the audience to provide their own unique interpretations of his art, through which new ideas and higher level of understanding of the work is attained. His work is so unique and often metaphorical it requires a sharp eye to decipher the often hidden allusions. He embraces music, life & much more and that is a plus.
