Now on Display: Pop Artist Michael Albert

A selection of Albert’s masterworks will be on display in the windows of the iconic pharmacy and center of health & well-being for the month of September including examples of his ‘Cerealism’ collages and several Epic works where he has spent months and in some cases more than a year creating detailed collages on a variety of themes using the colorful cardboard packages of iconic consumer brands. You have to see these artworks in person to understand what he has come up with.

Scroll to see a few of the pieces we have on display!

American Pop Artist Michael Albert (born in Far Rockaway in1966) has been creating ART since his college days at New York University, where he studied business (BPA, 1984-1988). After visiting many of the great museums in NYC and viewing some of the world’s greatest masterpieces of art, he began his own artistic pursuits. His art has evolved from doodles and Pen & Ink to serious wax oil drawings, to the cubist mosaic Cereal box collages he has become known for. In the past two decades, he has been creating large-scale “Epic” collage works on various themes including History, Literature, Religion & Philosophy, Music, Poetry & Lyrics, Botany, Logo Montages, Color Studies, Mathematics & Geography.

Since the publishing of his book, “An Artist’s autobiography titled, “An Artist’s America” (Henry Holt, 2008) Albert has developed a traveling Pop Art Enrichment Program & Hands-On Collage Workshop for young people of all ages including kids (generally school age & up), teens, adults & as a multi-generational event called the “Modern Pop Art Experience” which he has brought to more than 1,200 schools, libraries, museums, art festivals & special events in most of the United States (48 so far!) & in Canada, México and Europe.

He is known for displaying his work and engaging the public in non-traditional venues such as a neighborhood pharmacy like Thompson Chemists. Some of the other non-traditional venues he has shown his work at over the years include Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, D’Agostino Supermarkets, a bank in the Empire State Building, Dylan’s Candy Bar, health food stores, bagel shoppes, coffee shops & pizza parlors. Experiencing new works of art as part of one’s everyday life in this way, he believes, is the true essence of pop art.

Michael Albert also has his homemade jams, postcards, and coffee mugs available online and in our store!
