Michael Pajon

Issue 390 November 27, 2007

Michael Pajon has been making art since his Grandma taught him how to cut out little paper airplanes with a pair of safety scissors. Since graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003, he's exhibited in London, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. He lives and works in Chicago with his wife and two cats, and enjoys pie rather than cake. His etchings have been described as "jewels" and in an Artnet article as "sharing in the spirit of Kafka — funny, and with a strange sickly vivacity." His collages conjure up an American roadmap that seems both imagined and real: a blending of artifact and artificial, past and present; moments of our collective history encased in amber. Michael can often be found slumped over his desk, an X-acto knife in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.
