01 Gallery is proud to present “Blackwater Babylon” by Michael Knowlton. Michael Knowlton is an artist involved in the lowbrow art scene, is a writer for Juxtapoz Magazine, and an early exhibitor in Zero One Gallery. This will be his 6th solo show at the gallery!!

His recent paintings are politically charged comments on current events; including the war in Iraq. He was inspired by news broadcasts on TV and in newspapers, photojournalistic scenes, and the artist’s unique narrative.

Michael Knowlton explains that the Blackwater Babylon paintings “try to express [his] frustration at the squandering of resources, lives, and future for what it seems to be a business deal that will leave us vulnerable and uner-armed if a real threat occurs. The mercenaries in these pictures are fictitious, but no more a lie than any told in Washington,” -Michael Knowlton.
