Michael De Feo Art
Best known in the street art movement for his ubiquitous and iconic flower image, artist Michael De Feo has been creating works on the streets for over 25 years in more than 60 cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Cabo San Lucas, Amsterdam, Paris, Venice, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong and more. De Feo's work has appeared in numerous international galleries and museums including The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; MASS MoCA, North Adams, Mass.; Colette, Paris; and the Museo de Arte, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Notable exhibitions include 2005's Two Atmospheres at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT and 2008's Flowers at Manifesta 7 in Trento, Italy and most recently in 2016, solo exhibitions at The Garage in Amsterdam, Danziger Gallery in New York and a site-specific installation at Rice Gallery in Houston.
Michael's paintings on fashion ads and photography have been profiled in The New York Times, VOGUE, Paper, New York Magazine and numerous other outlets have also featured his work. Michael has also collaborated with fashion brands including Neiman Marcus, Christian Louboutin, La Mer and MILLY as well as non-profits such as Friends of the High Line in New York where he helped them celebrate their Chelsea Grasslands by designing posters, park signage and more all visible throughout the High Line park in September 2016. In January of 2017, Michael launched a line of shirts for J.Crew and designed the window displays for the facades of every J.Crew store around the world.
De Feo's work has appeared in a variety of film documentaries including Alice Arnold's To Be Seen (aired on PBS/WNET and screened at The Museum of Modern Art, 2006); and Banksy's Exit Through The Gift Shop: A Banksy Film (Paranoid Pictures, 2010) which was an Academy Award best documentary nominee. De Feo's work has appeared in over 40 books such as Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art by Carlo McCormick, Marc & Sara Schiller, and Ethel Sono (Tachen, 2010); Paris Graffiti by Fabienne Grevy (Edition de La Martiniere, 2008); and Street Art by Duccio Dogheria (Giunti Editori, 2015).
Michael's award-winning children's book, Alphabet City: Out on the Streets, employs New York City as his canvas - using his paintings glued on the streets of Manhattan to illustrate each letter of the alphabet. Currently in its fifth printing by Gingko Press, an initial review by Newsweek International said, "De Feo's art evokes beauty and optimism with a childlike simplicity while paying homage to gritty Manhattan."
Michael's monograph, “Flowers” was published by Abrams Books in April, 2019. This hardcover book documents his flower project from its genesis as a New York City street art project in 1993 to his various floral-inspired studio paintings and projects.
Michael is the recipient of a Clio Award in Fashion & Beauty, a D&AD award for Magazine Design, and two Certificates of Design Excellence from Print Magazine.
