Neon West: Electric Paintings by Michael Blessing
Published Dec 9, 2024
Michael Blessing isn’t your typical Western artist. His eye-catching paintings give a fresh, neon-lit spin to the rugged essence of the American West.
Born in 1960 and raised in the rural American West, Michael grew up surrounded by iconic landscapes and stories that have long fueled the mythology of that era. But instead of sticking to tradition, he blends the old with the new, creating bold, mixed media paintings that incorporate LED neon lights. These neon elements aren’t just for show; they feel like a natural extension of his art, bringing a contemporary energy to classic Western archetypes.
His paintings have been featured in publications like Western Art & Architecture and Southwest Art and have won awards from major art magazines and international galleries. Over the years, his solo and group exhibitions have drawn crowds from all over to see his colorful take on the American West.
