"From the fiesta colors of his fabulous frilled bowls to the mysterious depths of his "black glass" vases, Michael Zelenka wields a virtuosity that makes him a jewel of the Northeast Ohio arts community and a sought-after contributor to some of the most prestigious art venues across the United States and abroad. At the same time, his "TV" series gives a glimpse into the artist's wry social commentary and humor. His work covers a wide spectrum from the erotic to the sublime to the kinetically fantastic. In the last year, Mr. Zelenka was commissioned and installed works for both General Motors World Headquarters in Detroit, MI, and Norales World Headquarters in Atlanta, GA. Zelenka's solo show is his only exhibit in the area and features both known work and a series of gripping new sculptures."
