Michael Birawer art prints have
brought a new look to the face of urban neighborhoods through
his unique style of painting. A combination of graffiti,
cartoon, illustration and heavy textures, his paintings have
received praise from both art critics and patrons, who describe
his work as “one of the best examples of the contemporary
revival of urban art.” When asked about his work Birawer states,
“In my work, I strive to capture the connections between people
and place that create identity. Where we stop for coffee in the
morning, have a beer with a friend, or celebrate an anniversary
all become a part of who we are as individuals, neighbors, and
community members. By exaggerating the personalities of the
people and architecture, I hope to inspire emotions and evoke
memories for the viewer; feelings that may go unnoticed or
underappreciated in the routine of life. Additionally, I hope
that my work makes people think about the importance of
community in a world that seems to be increasingly
individualistic.” With the quick success of his “Scenes from the
Twin Cities” collection, Birawer has recently begun a series of
paintings reflecting the neighborhoods and life of Chicago.
“This Chicago series has become my new obsession,” the artist
says. “This shift has allowed me to experiment with new mediums
and break out of my own conventions.” Birawer was born, raised
and currently lives in the Twin Cities. Growing up as the third
child in a family of four boys, he became aware of his talents
early in life. After graduating from the College of Visual Arts
in St. Paul with a degree in illustration, Birawer took numerous
jobs within his field for the next decade while pursuing
painting in his spare time. In 2001, he made the commitment to
focus full-time on his art. Over the next year, interest in
Birawer’s work grew rapidly. One component of this success can
be attributed to his approach to his work. “It’s important that
I can make my images affordable to anyone who appreciates them
and still be respectful to the artwork,” said Birawer. “I am
painting our community. Since this is something that is a part
of everyone, it should be appreciated publicly.”
