Michael Knowlton Logo

"Oil paintings celebrating the California myth, excising its scaled underbelly and trying to understand the present and future of this sunny state, designated signpost for America tomorrow. Surf, cars, oil, old gas stations, motels, hyenas, and Lord of the Flies grommets swirl around in a vortex of California Kulture."
