Synopsis
Chronicle is proud to publish the exciting paintings of widely acclaimed German artist Michael Sowa. A miniature pig splashing in a bowl of soup; a duck leading a wheelbarrow down a country lane; a woman gently stroking her daughter's face with a rabbit: take a trip into Sowa's brilliant and darkly comic imagination, where a menagerie of creatures adopt strange personae and pop up in the most unexpected places. In the same realm as Chris Van Allsburg and Maurice Sendak, Sowa's paintings take on the other-worldly look of a whacked-out fairy tale--each work full of irony, a wry Brothers Grimm for grown-ups. These witty and satirical images--a cross between Magritte and The Far Side --are sure to attract a well-deserved and passionate following in the States.

  • Accurate.

    Fantastic artist. Really hits home with some of his whimsical characters that reveals us to ourselves. You can just enjoy the fantasy or you can delve as far into the story shown as you wish. Like any true fairy tale.
