Mike Kimball
Mike Kimball is an artist in love with the city. He is best
known for his paintings and prints of urban landscapes that
seem to inhabit the worlds of both representation and
abstraction simultaneously. The subjects of his artwork have
been the urban environments of San Francisco, Los Angeles,
New York, Tokyo and Osaka. “Whenever I look at the city, I
end up seeing it in terms of patterns and textures and
layered geometry. Its all in plain sight if you think to look for
it.” says Kimball.
His artwork focuses on the underlying geometric abstraction of the architecture and
design found in the urban landscape, as well as the curious effect that time and chaos
has on that geometric order as it moves towards disorder and entropy.
Kimball has exhibited his work nationally and is a member of the California Society of
Printmakers and the Los Angeles Printmaking Society. He is also a two-time recipient
of the Yozo Hamaguchi scholarship for printmaking excellence. Hamaguchi, who
passed away in 2000 at the age of 81, was perhaps the leading contemporary
exponent of the art of the mezzotint print.
The artist and his wife Rita both grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They now live
and work in San Francisco, California and Placitas, New Mexico, splitting their time
between the densely urbanized Bay Area and the wide open spaces of the American
southwest.
