MarkowskyArt
Michael Markowsky is a Canadian artist whose practice combines painting and performance. Typically he creates artwork while travelling through the landscape, such as in/on moving cars, trains, boats, dog sleighs, and most recently while walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain. In 2013, he produced 100 landscape drawings while flying faster than the speed of sound in a CF-18 “Hornet” fighter jet plane, as part of the official Canadian ‘War Artist’ program. In 2012, he painted ‘en plein air’ at the North Pole.
Michael received his MFA from Art Center in Los Angeles, California, and has taught drawing at Emily Carr University of Art in Vancouver. Upcoming projects include a major solo exhibition at the Tom Thomson Art Gallery (Ontario, Canada) to honour the 100th anniversary of Tom Thomson's death in 2017. Tom Thomson is arguably Canada's most famous and cherished artist, and was the inspiration for the creation of the "Group of Seven."
