Michael Killen: Artist Who Paints the Climate Plans of the Great

Katharina Powers, Owner, Art Ventures Galley (Menlo Park, CA) said, “I’m pleased Michael Killen agreed that my gallery would be first to display his new “corporate-size-statement” painting inspired by the four zeitgeists –Adaptation, Mitigation, Resilience, and Sustainability; and that taps into great literature, namely Don Quixote.”

Art Ventures Gallery of Menlo Park will display my painting “Safeguard California, Goal #6”, the part of “California’s Climate Plan” for the first time on the evening of Tuesday, September 11th, at 6.30pm. This video provides more information:

I hope to see all of you, who cares about art and climate, at the reception of “Safeguard California” at Art Ventures Gallery this upcoming Tuesday, September 11th at 6.30pm. Together we can make a positive change happen!

Michael Killen can help. He has the most appropiate content for affilates event. He is the Silicon Valley artist who painted  California Climate Plan –a 12 large scale painting collection.   His work has been displayed by Atherton,  CA’s Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, County of Santa Clara, NASA, Palo Alto, Stanford, Sustainable Silicon Valley,  and US Gov.  His art can help you attract visitors to affialtes’ events. Michael is also a syndicted talkshow host. michael@killen.com.

Access Sacramento (CA) TV/Radio is displaying a large print of Michael Killen’s painting “Sustainability” (5Ft X 24Ft ) (1.5M X 6.3M). He made the art for NASA.

Stanford University is displaying a large print of Michael’s painting “Resilience of America,” the same size as painting listed above. Michael made “Resilience of America,” shortly after he made “Sustainability.”

Both paintings are part of Michael’s ‘CA’s Climate Plan’ collection of 12 significant works that help bring attention to the need for the climate plan, and that helps people understand and support it.

Those paintings will be in the October/November 2018 Exhibition: “Art of Michael Killen: Addressing Climate Change,” in San Francisco.

Michael recently removed three of his works that Governor Brown’s Office of Planning and Research had been displaying for two years. (The State has offered Michael eight additional buildings to showcase his work.)

On that Sat. the three shows that Carl W. Laur directed were
1) ‘Jonathan Kleid, Head of the Kleid Design Group, Oakland, interviewing Michael Killen on a) the status of Michael’s CA’s Climate Plan: Art and Media Project, and b) the upcoming one-person San Francisco art exibition, “Michael Killen’s Art: Addressing Climate Change”, Oct/Nov. 2018.
2) Michael Killen’s  interview with CA’s leading outsider/ psychedelic artist, Dickins 44;  and
3) Michael’s interview with CA’s leading wood artist, Odis Schmidt of Mendocino County, CA.

Michael Killen said, “I will now paint CA’s Climate Plan ‘Goal #3 which is ‘Double the Energy Efficiency Savings in Existing Buildings, 2030. ‘ I welcome Electricity of France and Stanford’s assistance. “

Michael is planning a 6 x 15-foot painting inspired by Goal #3. The art will also feature one uncommon solution that will help the state and decision makers in the state, to attain that goal.

The overall project has a mission of providing another approach to help decision-makers aline their actions with those of the state’ s plan. That approach is a symbolic presentation of information approach.

Michael also said, “He has already painted eight of the twelve paintings that are part of the project.   They include two of the six goals, five paintings on why we need the state’s plan, and three on the state’s strategies.”

Organizations that have displayed art from this project include the Governor of California’s Office of Planning and Research and the US’s Dept. of Commerce, Interior and NASA. The organizations also include the governments of Atherton, County of Santa Clara, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto. They include Microsoft, Save the Bay and Sustainable Silicon Valley.

With the end of this project in Michael’s sight, he is thinking about what project he will undertake next. He welcomes subjections. michael@killen.com.
