ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Captured (Painless) Pigments, watercolor and handmade natural earth paints, 18 x 24”. I’m super excited to have shifted a certain percentage of my painting time into less watery territory. This has allowed me to stand up while I work at my new homemade easel. That’s helping my posture and outlook. It really changes things… When I built a wall easel and started down this path of exploring “painless painting” with deeper commitment, I expected to make a bunch of bad paintings. I’ve accomplished that in my opinion… Yet I’ve also begun to see some subtle, interesting progress. It’s been challenging to move away from primarily clean lines and sharp edges. This painting and some others I’m working on right now… are opening up new ways of seeing and painting. I have every intention of continuing to cycle through complexity/simplicity, careful lines/fast mindless expression, emptiness/fullness, ugly/beautiful etc. I speculate that being a Gemini strengthens my interest in balancing two ways of working and seeing, yet polarity is the nature of our “floating” planet. The frame is handmade by myself in my woodshop. Western Red Cedar. More at

Mike Biskup
United States
MIKE BISKUP is a contemporary watercolor painter, musician, and caretaker of The Green Way in Gardiner, WA on Washington State's verdant Olympic Peninsula. Born in 1970 in Los Angeles, he spent his youngest years voraciously drawing quirky characters, complex contraptions and way out worlds with his two older brothers. Artwork flowed onto all of his papers at school bringing accolades from most of his teachers. At UC Santa Cruz, he swam in a richly blended stream of artistic freedom, Zen Buddhism and Native American spiritual consciousness while earning a degree in Fine Art. After school, Mike spent two decades homeschooling three intrepid children in the wilds of Port Townsend. Nest emptied, he embraced his role as a bringer of visions in the Artist/Shaman tradition elucidated profoundly by Joseph Campbell. At age 50, a powerful mystical experience shed new light on Everything… His paintings can be found in collections worldwide, notably that of Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette and Facebook Inc.
