Michael Scheers is a Belgian visual artist. He was born in 1958. He lives and works in Rixensart (BE). Self-taught, Michael Scheers has been involved in the world of advertising since his early childhood. This world allowed him to demonstrate a great sense of detail from an early age. Michael Scheers' art lies halfway between optical illusion and movement. The discovery of his work is a process of transformation where the angle of vision defines forms and colours. Each geometric composition is a poetic journey where the mastery of colours and the discovery of unexpected configurations surprise, magnetise or question. Michael Scheers truly inhabits the space and interacts with the viewer who becomes a participant in spite of himself. Art in Motion is participatory, dynamic and social. One cannot ignore the parallels between his work and that of Walter Leblanc...

MAINE WORK TABLE WITH PAINTING OF FIVE-MASTED SCHOONER, AN OLD MAKE-DO WITH GREAT STYLE:

Found in Maine and probably made there, this wonderful little work table, with its delicate, spade-shaped legs, was at some point married to this early painting of a five-masted schooner.

The oil on canvas painting, which may have once resided inside a sea chest, dates to the period between 1860 and 1870 and features a tombstone-shaped window on a mustard ground. For lack of better words, the five-masted ship, with its host of tall, narrow sails, is particularly easy on the eyes. The surface of the canvas has very nice craquelure which, when added to the crusty black surface of the rural Maine stand, work exceptionally well together. Also wonderful to see is the tiny lightship in the foreground, off the portside stern, and a lighthouse in the background at the tip of a point of land. There is a skinny black pennant of the top of one of the masts, but no indication of nationality. The painting, however, is almost certainly American.

Made ca 1830-50, the table itself has a whimsical folk style. The unusual legs display a cylindrical turning below the skirt, then form a long, tapered spade that ends in an unusually fine point. I have seen similar legs on Virginia tables...
