About the Artist: With over 35 years of artistic acrylic on canvas painting, Michelangelo Lovelace, Sr. has touched many lives depicting his perspective of urban life. His work has also inspired collectors and curators throughout the region. His work was most recently acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art and can be found in major collections including the Cleveland Clinic, Progressive Insurance Company, and the Artist Archives of the Western Reserve. His artwork has been shown nationwide and throughout his home state of Ohio. Most recently Michelangelo was honored with the 2015 Cleveland Arts Prize and has received multiple fellowship awards and recognitions for his unique artistic talent. In May/June 2018 Michelangelo participated in his first solo show in Manhattan. Fort Gansevoort, located in the heart of the Meatpacking District, is described as a cultural hub for art, design & food. Originally founded by Adam Shopkorn & Carolyn Angel, they seek to show contemporary art and artists who are unafraid to pick at politics or push the envelope. Maria Neil Art Project is proud to show Michelangelo's work courtesy of Fort Gansevoort. Michelangelo's Curriculum Vitae.

Michelangelo Lovelace is one Cleveland's great stories. He grew up on the streets of Cleveland's inner city. He made it through countless challenges, always relying on one thing to keep him going - art. We are proud to present the latest work by this Cleveland Arts Prize winner.
As an artist, Michelangelo has always portrayed the life he knew. Depicting inner city life is not easy, especially when it is autobiographical. Michelangelo's experiences are directly translated to the canvases he paints on. With a heavy hand and a light heart he skirts that fine line to tell the truth about Cleveland and the people in it.
'We The People' is born out of Michelangelo's concerns and occasinal fears about where our country is headed. As he works he listens to the news and uses the emotions he gains from those stories to influence his latest work. As the RNC arrives in Cleveland, Ohio, his work has never been more timely.
