American artist Maggie Michael, who created part of the large scale mural for the new headquarters of the US Embassy in Bucharest, will exhibit in the US her works on paper, the Danube Series, executed this summer in Cetate, Romania. The exhibition will be opened in Washington this fall, according to G Fine Art gallery.

All the works in the “Danube Series” are on paper with ink and spray paint mixed with water from this storied, 1,770 mile-long river that courses through nine countries, from the Black Forest to the Black Sea.

The artist used antiquated musical reproduction devices – vinyl records of works by Verdi, Diana Ross and The Jesus and Mary Chain, and piano rolls of Wagner – as stencils.

Maggie Michael, 37, was born in Milwakee, US. She was part of a group of artists who decorated the walls of the newly-opened US Embassy building in Bucharest, in the north of the city. We wrote about the opening here.

The artist exhibition will be held between September 10 and October 15, 2011 at the G Fine Art in Washington.
