1964 Dorothy Pfeiffer reviews the Dominion Gallery show “His palette knife seems to prance and paw the thickly painted ground like a nervous thoroughbred; the starting gun signals and he’s off! Off to a magnificent finish. Verve, skill, poetry, music, life! All such elements of beauty project themselves from Michon’s paintings.”
1966 The artist’s Philosophy as reported in the “Montrealer”: “It is pretentious for the artist to attempt to recreate what he sees and feels in the world through himself. The artist must look at the world intensely, but the vision must come from within himself…I look to nature for my inspiration…then try to recreate what I have seen, but this creation is on a second level…not what I see but what I feel…and always reaching for expression beyond the length and breadth of the physical perimeter before me, into the dimension of time…as an artist, I attempt to supersede the limitations of the technical means at my disposal and to answer the challenge that comes from the blank canvas that stares back at me with a spirit of spontaneity and self fulfillment…”
