Michael Forbes is an internationally-acclaimed artist who has exhibited in New York, London and Berlin alongside the likes of Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat. Fans include Ricky Gervais, Terry Gilliam, Sir David Attenborough and Madonna.
Michael creates vibrant, thought-provoking paintings which depict such diverse subjects as Pop icon Blondie straddling a giant bee, a dramatic Lily Cole riding a star-strewn Highland Stag and a subversive twist on the story of Adam and Eve which puts the female firmly in the driving seat of desire.
Michael’s passion is shaking up the status quo and putting the Highlands on the map.
His work marries pop culture with diverse topics such as politics, the environment and modern society, all infused with a dash of glamour, humour and satire.
His work has been described as ‘a true depiction of modern Highland talent, future-facing while drawing on the traditions and strength of this spectacular part of the world.’
