About The Artwork

Ice and Fire. This painting is part of an ongoing series I call "Shields". I began the series about 3 years ago. Before that, all my work contained India ink as well as watercolor. These are improvised paintings which I start with no sketching or plan in mind. I'm able to watch the composition unfold - which is one of my favorite aspects of painting. This work was perhaps subliminally inspired by the polarized nature of politics in the US in 2017. Could also be inspired by the climate crisis in which the world is heating due to human burning of fossil fuels. With totally spontaneous, improvisational work it's difficult to tell... There are perhaps other points of inspiration for this work which I leave open for viewers to perceive. Everything is connected, so anything is possible. Feel free and contact me if you want to know more - mike@mikebiskup.com.

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.
