Mike Coulson's Mile Marker series of paintings explores the abstract visual possibilities observed while cruising down the road. Coulson takes the commonplace experience of traveling in a car and transposes it with color, texture and abstraction to convey the essence of the highway and the nature of the road. The paintings, titled by mile markers, are essentially creative expressions illustrating marked events and experiences along the way. Everyone connects by means of the highway and all will readily connect with elements in the paintings.
