About this artwork
Palms – 48 x 36 inches – original mixed media on canvas. Oil, acrylic and print from scanned collage on canvas, featuring Friends on Bowery Characters. Created in New York
Friends on Bowery started in 2011 when Michael decided to try his hand at drawing. He had just moved to NYC and was struggling to continue his fashion label ‘Stiegler’, despite having the likes of Kate Moss and Chrissy Teigen wearing it. He began working in a retail store in… Soho where, to make ends meet and decided he needed a creative outlet and began drawing on receipt paper when the store was quiet. The characters were inspired by the people and faces he would see on his way to and from work. Walking from Soho, down the Bowery to his flat in Lower East Side. His style is iconic and Stiegler has never drawn the same face twice, possibly drawing tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of faces over the last 8 years.

« Someone once wrote about me in South Korea, saying my work was like, 'if Basquiat and Keith Haring had a son and he was drawing with his left hand'. »
Michael Stiegler is a painter, photographer, and draftsman based in Australia whose works have been exhibited nationally and in the United States. Inspired by living in New York City and the unique characters he observed on a daily basis, he also draws upon high-end fashion magazines, but not for the reasons one might expect. Stiegler wonders if the glittering and beauty people featured in the media are truly happy and his collage compositions reflect the monsters that may lie within.
