Artist. Painter. Seer of visions.
Michael Kerbow is a San Francisco-based artist who works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, assemblage, and digitally manipulated photography. His creations explore issues such as hyper-consumerism, climate change, and other ecological threats that derive from our modern industrialized society. He is interested in how these phenomena impact our surroundings, and affect the future viability of our planet. The artist seeks to question the rationale of our collective pursuits, and attempts to reveal the dichotomy that can exist between what we desire, and what we in turn manifest. Kerbow creates allegories about the world today, and invites us to ponder the scenarios that possibly await us tomorrow. His luscious use of color and intricate detail lures the eye, and entices the viewer to contemplate the environmental themes contained within his work.
Michael Kerbow has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has appeared in multiple publications. He has also been twice nominated for SFMOMA’s prestigious SECA award. His work can be seen online at www.michaelkerbow.com
