Flotsam’s Wonder Tonic
Mike Shine's work can be described as a colorful, sometimes disturbing mixture of driftwood, house paint, Nordic mythology, insomnia, 1970’s pop culture, absinthe, Teutonic philosophy, his wife Marianne, and woodworking skills left over from a previous life. Shine’s art explores how themes of classic mythology, philosophy and psychology relate to modern day mankind. “But in an accessible way, without the pretension, and bullshit,” he emphasizes. Recently his cabin was recreated in its entirety for the Museum of Craft and Folk Art in San Francisco. It was also recently featured in Readymade magazine, Juxtapoz, High Fructose, Spread Art Culture, Art Ltd, and the SF Chronicle.
