Designica

WEST BLOOMFIELD
(810) 932-2299
Designica will be exhibiting work
by Italian painter Michele Salemi
June 8th-July 31st. Art critic Fran-
co Basile describes his work as "an
explosion of colors rich with hints
of expressionism." His bold strokes
and use of strong color and spacial
contrasts emerge landscapes, still
lives, and nudes challenging con-
ventional ways of viewing art and
compel the eye to explore the
artist's message. Meet Salemi at
the opening reception, June 8th
from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. and at the open
house, June 10th from 10 a.m.-6
p.m.
Hours: Mon.-Sat. 11:00-5:30
p.m.; Thurs. till 7:00 p.m.
