Biography/Statement

Michael Bowen
Jeg hedder Michael I am a painter. I love to paint stories. I love stories. All kinds, but mostly absurd or darkly nostalgic themed stories. I am self-taught in a basement. I sit on the edge of a bed. Hunched over. My glasses fall off sometimes. They landed in the dirty paint water once. My chair is an easel. It’s lumpy with dried paint. My phone plays music while I work. If I get blocked I roll over onto the bed and lay there. Sometimes I drift into a light sleep and picture the solution and quickly sit up and paint it. Sometimes I fall asleep and miss an appointment. When I finish a piece I hide it from myself. I cannot look at it right away I usually go outside and eat an apple. The end Born 1966 Death TBD |
