Michael Wiebach
About
Michael Wiebach is a Mexican-German visual artist best known for painting, installation art, and short films. Wiebach uses representational objects like old toys, industrial junk, and obsolete gadgets as inspiration for oil painting and elaborate art installations. His pieces resemble modern archaeology and expose modern technology as it is seen from the margin of its own obsolescence.
