Michael Knepper | Official featured Artist by OCC
Fantastic news from the US: Now, I'm proudly present that I became the "Official featured artist by OOC" and therefore I'm the only artist who is allowed to paint the bikes of Orange County Choppers!For a long time already,I'm not an unknown in the biker scene. As a dedicated biker I spend a good deal of my leisure time on my Harley Davidson "Fat Boy".
Therefore, it is not surprising that I'm deeply inspired by that scene resulting in dozens of biker paintings over the last years. That is how the idea for my "Out of Hell" calendar evolved as well. It consists of 12 artworks displaying national and international customizer together with their Bikes in a unique symbiosis between Bikes and Bikers (such as Habermann Performance, Marcus Walz, Aykut, NLC, Russel Mitchell, Paul Cox, Keino etc.)
I've been on numerous exhibitions in Germany, Austria, Sweden, Italy and- of course- last but not least in the US.
In Sturgis I got to know my American art dealer Ron Segal from Segal Fine Art who has been presenting me for over 4 years now in the USA and helped me to gain extensive publicity and fans through plenty exhibitions in New York, Miami, Washington, Daytona Beach, Sturgis etc.
As a result I will now immortalize the bikes of Orange County Choppers on canvas- for all their and my fans and customers.
I will be present at the Hanse Weekend Luebeck this year again and possibly will show my first OCC painting. For sure, part of the exhibition will be my own "Out of Hell" Chopper, which I recently designed and built together with Anatol Egbuna from "Custom Metal".
All of my paintings are available as posters and/or Fine Art Canvas Prints on my website- HYPERLINK "http://WWW.MICHAELKNEPPER.DE"WWW.MICHAELKNEPPER.DE as well as originals. I also have multiple private customers who I painted together with their bike. (Prices on request)
