Artist Michael De Feo is quintessential New York. Best known for his ubiquitous flower image, De Feo has been creating street art for over fifteen years. Not limited to the streets
as his canvas, his work has also appeared in galleries, museums, books and magazines around the world including The New Museum of Contemporary Art, NY; the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY; the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; MASS MoCA; the A3 Art Fair, Paris; the Biblioteca Civica G. Tartarotti, Rovereto, Italy and The National Gallery, Bangladesh, amongst others.
Michael has also been featured on the cover of New York Magazine's "Reasons to Love New Issue" and participated in last December's Wooster on Spring exhibition at New York's "Candle Building" which was one of the top-ten cultural events of 2006 as selected by Roberta Smith of the New York Times. In addition, Michael’s work has been featured in film documentaries, most notably Alice Arnold’s “To Be Seen” which was aired on PBS/WNET and screened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2006.
De Feo's award winning children's book, "Alphabet City: Out on the Streets", pays homage to the classroom that is New York City - using his paintings glued on the streets of Manhattan to illustrate each letter of the alphabet. It's now in its second printing by Gingko Press.
Michael lives in New York with his daughter, Marianna, and teaches art at a high school in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
