IU East Gallery exhibit features works of abstract, weathered steel paintings
The Indiana University East Art Gallery is featuring "The Works of Mike Elsass" on display now through July 2. The Gallery exhibit features the Ohio based artist's abstract and weathered steel paintings that represent strength, life's elements, aging, imperfection and beauty. Elsass became a painter after a career in the insurance industry. Though mostly self-taught, he acknowledges Roger Sayre as his mentor. Sayre, a nationally prominent steel artist, showed Elsass the potential of steel as a surface and urged him to experiment with it.
