May 17, 2007 Michael G. Bauer's "Meditational Love Drawings" show is fetured in the LA Weekly's Must See Art section writen by Amra Brooks. http://www.laweekly.com/index.php?option=com_lawcontent&task=view&id=16387&Itemid=9 "Here you will find a super-bright new gallery with a new super-young artist. Bauer is a wee babe of 25 who went to UCLA for undergrad and spent the last two years working on this group of drawings. His meditative practice of writing the word “Love” thousands of times creates pattern or shapes, as if the words themselves are like brush strokes, the end result looking like a freeform, more sophisticated Spirograph. Sometimes beautiful psychedelic flowers emerge, or sea creatures, while others are more abstract. While “Love” is used in most of the works, he also uses “High” or “Free” to create images. It may sound a little too much like a New Age doodle, but all the works prove to be delicate and completely mesmerizing. It’s great to see the art kids L.A. is turning out these days; it seems like the youth are almost over irony and the focus is on a more positive and earnest practice." Amra Brooks
