Sotheby's Talks

The Extraordinary Life of M aka Michael Chow

London

Shanghai-born, LA based artist M (Michael Chow), has a strong connection to London having lived here as a young man and studying at St Martin's. In this Sotheby's Talk in London, he discusses his early friendships with fellow artists Peter Blake and Richard Lin, and making work in the late 1950s and Swinging Sixties. Fast forward to today, M has developed his own radical approach to abstract painting which incorporates three dimensional sculptural elements and explosions of matter across the surface of the canvas. Bridges, an exhibition of his expressive monumental painting, will be on view at Waddington Custot on Cork Street until 14 January 2023.
