Speakeasy Art Gallery Presents: The work of Mike Bell

BOONTON, N.J. - Jan. 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Speakeasy Art Gallery presents: The Work of Mike Bell


Please join us for the opening reception:  February 6th from 6-9pm

Speakeasy Art Gallery is pleased to present the work of Mike Bell, opening Friday, February 6th from 6-9pm.  Mike Bell's art blends an aura of nostalgia and humor, combined with vivid color and a combination of influences.  Japanese cartoons, classic monsters, vintage toys, punk rock, carnivalesque images, MAD magazine and Big Daddy Roth are among the cultural forces that have shaped his art.  The juxtaposition of counter culture imagery with modern day influences are the blueprint for Mike's canvases.

A true lowbrow painter, Mike paints illusionistic as well as cartoony, sometimes with a hazy distinction.  The outcome is a world where the weird is wonderful and the inhuman is alive.

The show will be on display February 6th - March 23rd 2015.
