As a Jamaican-born, Boston-based Freelance Artist and Visual Story-teller, Michael Talbot has worked on a wide range of projects, murals, exhibitions, and showcases since 2012. His work which is often narrative-driven, is most characterized by the keen use of motion, negative space, as well as a limited palette reminiscent of graphic novels and other forms of sequential art. By seamlessly blending Illustration work, Design concepts, as well as Animation techniques, Michael has sought to expand perceptions surrounding what art deserves to exist within the gallery space as well as to the public equally.

“I don’t see myself as anything more than the typical artist who enjoys his craft and seeking to make an impact on someone’s life. With all that is going on in the world, I acknowledge that it is necessary to have a chorus of voices bringing light to what is important and what us as a people will always need: unity, justice, and love. However as a visual artist, my desire and focus is to be the voice that soothes, inspires, and motivates others to ponder their individual wonders of life. Through my art, I seek to be the light that helps others to look forward and look beyond what isn’t going right at the moment — to provide some solace in a state of unrest by asking questions and highlighting perspectives and approaches to life not often explored.”
