Theo Michael (b. 1978, Panorama) is an interdisciplinary artist with Greek, British, and Mexican nationalities. His work has been described by other artists as “drunken anthropology.” Michael’s drawings, sculptures, and mosaics draw on archaeological, science fiction, and natural history references to construct alternative worlds where the boundaries and hierarchies between cultures and species have collapsed. Michael has called his pieces a kind of “poor art”, an idea that recalls the notion of “poor images” that the artist and researcher Hito Steyerl has coined to refer to all those visual materials that within the dominant economy and cultures they lack symbolic or economic capital due to their unidentified origin, their massive reproduction and their very low quality, and yet they can and are used not only in the production of a collective visual imaginary, but also as part of artistic and aesthetic processes. He has recently presented solo exhibitions at George Benias Gallery, Guadalajara90210, Expositivo, Casa del Lago UNAM, Galerie Vallois, Galería OMR, among others, and has participated in group exhibitions at Salón ACME, Proyectos Multipropósito, L.A. Beast Gallery, Museo Anahuacalli, Pequod Co., and MASA Galería. Theo Michael holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Aristotle University, GR, and a Master of Fine Arts from Wimbledon College of Art, UK.
