Michael Swann

Gallery 905 welcomes Birmingham artist Michael Swann for Person Detected, an exhibition exploring memory, human connection, spiritualism, and moments of revelation.

“When memories are well built.

When flames remain.

When shadows are held.

This is a person detected.”

Swann works primarily as a painter, combining traditional oil painting with printmaking, airbrushing, and materials and techniques commonly used in the automotive field. His process often begins with a plan before becoming more intuitive, allowing each work to develop and guide him.

A lifelong Birmingham resident, Swann earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Birmingham-Southern College. His work draws inspiration from human connection and memory to spiritualism and surrealism.

Join us at Gallery 905 on Thursday, September 3rd at 5:30 PM for the opening reception of Person Detected and an opportunity to meet the artist.
