The Renaissance-inspired tondo, "Turn It Up," showcases Michael Prettyman's dedication to combining historical art forms with modern themes. As in many of his paintings, the theme of duality is evident. The stoic sheep, symbols of tranquility, stand in sharp contrast to the tumultuous eruption in the background. This juxtaposition, a hallmark of Michael's work, underscores his meditation on life's unpredictable nature and the balance between serenity and chaos. Such reflections, deeply rooted in his studies of world wisdom texts and spiritual practices, solidify Michael's place as a profound artist of our time.
