Sowa, Michael 100 million years ago: The first primitive life forms emerge Acrylic on vellum. 2018. 19.5 x 23.5 cm. Signed “SOWA” in black with a brush in the lower right corner. Unflattering representatives of our society emerge from an apocalyptic-looking landscape. Fully clothed and bearing all their attributes, they rise from the landscape amid fissures in the earth glowing with lava. With humor and whimsical details, Sowa depicts the scene in his precise painting style, which is somewhat reminiscent of the realistic style of the Old Masters. Michael Sowa studied art education in Berlin and has worked as a freelance painter and draftsman since 1975. He provides cover art and illustrations for the satirical magazine “Titanic” as well as for “Die Zeit” and “The New Yorker.” Provenance: Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalog.
