About the artist

Michael B. Platt

Michael B. Platt (1948-2019) was a 2007 recipient of the prestigious Franz and Virginia Bader Fund Grant. Long known as a printmaker, Platt preferred the more encompassing designation, “imagemaker.” His artwork ultimately turned to digital imagery and book art that combined image and poetry—fragments, allowing us glimpses of our selves. He continued to create artwork that centered on figurative explorations of life’s survivors, the marginalized, and referencing history and circumstance in the rites, rituals and expressions of our human condition. ~https://mplattstudio.com

In 2017 Michael B. Platt created a mural for the Duke Ellington School of the Arts Project. Platt was deeply involved in the school, having taught there a number of years ago, and followed its journey from the school’s inception. From his memory of the spaces of the original building, he was able to use this opportunity to create images for the school's new configuration. ~https://www.invisionsarts.com
