Folk art patterns and symbols in contemporary art are expressed in the form of symbolic meanings and patterns. Michael Givel’s folk art designs through the medium of flowing fused glass provide imageries of mythic imageries and aspects of modern counterculture in the USA. Each of these art designs has been given a title to further present the meaning of each piece of fused glass folk art. The Top Hat and Tye Dye fused glass art pieces, for instance, refer to Michael Givel’s impression of the days when a carnivale-style cultural ambience emerges during a folk rock music festival and gathering in a California locale on a nice summer day. These art pieces and their titles can be viewed in a slideshow by clicking on one of the fused glass art pieces on this page.
