Info
Shape & Place is the work of artist and designer Michael Gallegly.
Color and contrast, texture and tone, structure and sequence — Shape & Place is art created through a balance of intention and exploration, where abstract forms are composed with precision, rhythm, and emotion.
Influenced by the clarity of Bauhaus design, the dense geometry of brutalist architecture, and the layered nature of collage, these images explore how restraint, repetition, and spatial logic can evoke depth and presence. Each piece emerges from a structured visual system, where thoughtful decisions and creative variation come together to produce truly unique outcomes.
Artwork is currently available here and on Etsy in a variety of sizes, both framed and unframed, printed on 255 GSM Epson Somerset Velvet paper by Artelo in Lexington, Kentucky.
