Description The lines of a crenellated grid merge into an egg-shaped depression that holds the Lipton tea Buddha. A rectangular image in front of the depression shows a woman in a close-fitting black robe and hood sitting on a white cube and facing to the left. The image is framed by a square of blue and yellow, inside of which rests a tiger. As the depression flattens into a circular grid, it is rimmed with white letters. All floats above water lilies beneath a pale blue sky.
Michael Skrtic, stockholm Member Since March 2010 Artist Statement Michael Skrtic was created by an improbable laboratory accident between the end of the Atomic Age and the beginning of the Space Age. He was pulled from the resultant conceptual debris and raised by primates of a species unknown to science, living a carefree existence in the urban jungles of North America until found by a passing pseudo-scientific expedition. After learning to practice a rigorous daily routine of artistic exercises, Skrtic vowed to devote his life to fighting evil through the unrelenting application of painting and collage. It is rumored that Michael Skrtic now lives hidden in the wilds of deepest, darkest Sweden and will not reappear until he has developed an unbeatable form of aesthetic kung fu.
