Micah Krock

I am an artist living in Portland, OR. I graduated with a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design in 2001. In college I concentrated on drawing and painting figures and portraits. I found that the true likeness of my subjects was not achieved by copying their appearances realistically, but rather by exaggerating their features to really capture the core essence and play with how they really looked to me.

I still love painting the portrait and figure, but since moving to Portland in 2003, I have also found inspiration in the bridges and buildings of it's cityscape. Applying the same expressive, exaggerated technique, I have created portraits of buildings, full of character, and added an almost living quality to the stationary bodies of bridges.

I like to let the structures dance.
