Michael Patterson-Carver
b 1958
A lifetime campaigner and rights activist, Michael Patterson-Carver originally displayed his drawings as part of a personal protest in his hometown of Portland, Oregon. When the work came to the attention of artist Harrel Fletcher, it was included in his project The People’s Biennale in 2009, leading Patterson-Carver to exhibit at public and commercial venues across the world. A relentless champion for the power of peaceful protest, Patterson-Carver here satirises the art world’s capricious gaze by dumping his own artworks in the garbage can outside a gallery which prefers to represent paintings of enormous sex organs.
