Creative Art Show | Michael Gaughan

 In short, Gaughan's paintings are awesome. Confrontational and bold in some cases yet subtle and enigmatic in others. If you're not immediately struck by the technical skill used to create these clever compositions, then you could be consumed with an intense feeling or emotion gleaned by the work. Much like the punchline of a joke, Gaughan's pieces provoke reactions. "Creative Art Show" offers insight into the mind of an eccentric artist who explores the use of irony, exaggeration, and the absurdity of stating the obvious. This is a creative art show.⁣
