Now on display at @bimuseum.of.art: Capturing the Ineffable by Michael Stasinos.
Michael Stasinos (b. 1968, Canoga Park, CA) transforms ordinary city streets into living, breathing portraits through his immersive plein air practice.
Rather than retreat to the studio, Stasinos makes the city his atelier. For him, a single urban vista can take weeks, months, or even years to resolve: natural light shifts, weather intervenes, and the pulse of daily life continually reshapes his subject. “The sidewalks became my studio and the city my new model,” he explains, “and I consider every landscape a portrait—each crack in the pavement, each passing pedestrian, part of my sitter’s personality.”
Since his first solo shows at Martin-Zambito Fine Art and later at @woodsidebraseth in Seattle, Michael’s work has been celebrated for its meticulous, layered surfaces and for the way it captures both the monumentality and the intimate details of urban life. Alongside his exhibition career, he’s shared his process as a teaching artist at Pacific Lutheran University, Eastern Illinois University, Cornish College of the Arts, and Gage Academy of Art.
This summer, dive into Stasinos’s world at BIMA—his cityscapes are on view NOW through September 28, 2025. Admission is always free, and the gallery is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM.
