. .nightmares of industrial wasteland . . . like Piranesi’s prisons, they possess a strange and compelling beauty. . . stage sets for armies of wild characters who act out their dreams of avarice and lust."
John Gunin — Juxtapoz Magazine on the Paintings of Michael Knowlton
"Michael Knowlton is protesting a dirty and seemingly endless war. While so much of contemporary painting offers a Tongue in cheek approach to irony, Mr. Knowlton, in the tradition of Goya, Daumier, Golub, Kollowitz and Grotz is pointing a sharp finger at man’s capacity to hurt and destroy.
Unlike the previous cool of the LA images, now Michael Knowlton’s heat crowns this work with purpose and a plea for sanity and discourse between societies."
