WEST BLOOMFIELD
(810) 932-2299
Designica is featuring the work
by Italian painter Michele Salemi
thru July 31st. Art Critic Franco
Basile describes his work as "an
explosion of colors rich with hints
of expressionism." From his bold
strokes and use of strong colors
and spacial contrasts emerge land-
scapes, still lifes and nudes chal-
lenging our way of viewing art and
compelling the eye to explore the
artist's message.
