Studio Visit with Michael Michael Motorcycle

Opening on November 2 at Gallery 309 in Philadelphia is the solo exhibition, "California Man" by self-taught artist Michael Michael Motorcycle. Vibrant and fantastical, the stunning works explore relationships; the love between people as well as humanity's relationship with the environment. Despite the candy colored palate, the works are punctuated by a subtle grief that appear as tear drops or threads of blood while cityscapes burn within the wings of a butterfly. Recently we were able to visit the artist's studio, view more images after the jump.
