ABOUT MICHAEL VASQUEZ:
Michael Vasquez [Painter] was born in 1983 in St. Petersburg, Florida. He moved to Miami to attend New World School of the Arts, where he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2005. Upon graduating, Vasquez began showing with Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Miami, Florida where he mounted his first solo exhibition, "Family Jewels." Drawn from his personal experience as an only child of a single mother, Vasquez explored the allure of a neighborhood street gang through the perspective of a boy growing up without a father figure. Other exhibitions include "Michael Vasquez: Authority Figures" at The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri; "How The Land Lies" and "Rites of Passage" at the Fredric Snitzer Gallery; "The Human Touch" at SMoCA in Scottsdale, Arizona; and numerous exhibitions throughout the United States and the state of Florida. Currently, Vasquez has seven works included in the exhibition "Portraiture Now: Staging the Self," at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. Vasquez's work was also shown internationally for the first time in 2010, when it was included in "Franks - Suss Collection" at the Saatchi Gallery in London, England. Continuing his commitment to community involvement, while in Chattanooga Vasquez spent time with the mentally disabled at the AIM (Achievement Independence Motivation) Center.
