ABOUT
Michael Bo
Visual Artist & Illustrator, Nykøbing Falster, 1981.Grew up near the forest and the sea, greatly inspired by proximity to nature and the wonders of going on adventures into the wild. An early introduction to urban street culture and the love of music also played a direct role in early development of a distinctive visual language.
Michael works in the fields of illustration, print making, painting, and artistic decoration. He presented two solo exhibitions and taken part in several group shows, exhibiting in Denmark and Sweden, and creating public mural art across Europe, California and Costa Rica.
Today, his practice centers on illustration and visual storytelling, developed through thoughtful craftsmanship, playful contemporary imagery and a keen eye for visual aesthetics.
Always open for inquiries & your ideas for collaboration.
