Description Time-lapse images of Marcel Duchamp descend the stairs, transforming into shadowy Bedouins riding camels across the foreground. All seems under water. Streams of orange letters float amid the pale green and blue as a shimmering shark shaped reflection maneuvers among them. The gigantic watery image of John, his arms replaced by dragons wings rises in the background. He contemplates the Chinese character for dance. The Bedouins ride towards an iridescent man-shaped portal on the right corner of the painting.
Michael Skrtic, stockholm Member Since March 2010 Artist Statement Michael Skrtic was created by an improbable laboratory accident between the end of the Atomic Age and the beginning of the Space Age. He was pulled from the resultant conceptual debris and raised by primates of a species unknown to science, living a carefree existence in the urban jungles of North America until found by a passing pseudo-scientific expedition. After learning to practice a rigorous daily routine of artistic exercises, Skrtic vowed to devote his life to fighting evil through the unrelenting application of painting and collage. It is rumored that Michael Skrtic now lives hidden in the wilds of deepest, darkest Sweden and will not reappear until he has developed an unbeatable form of aesthetic kung fu.
