Michael Bo Jensen
Artist and illustrator based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Michael works with mixed media on any scale from illustration and painting to print and installation. He has been commissioned for editorial and brand illustration as well as mural and architectural decoration.
He grew up in southern Denmark in the mist of the 80´s and 90´s youth and street culture, heavily inspired by the skate and graffiti movement, which is still apparent in his work.
Michael collaborated with several established institutions and brands such as Danish Workers Museum, M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark and Volvo to name a few. Recently “The Dream Ship” at Maritime Museum of Denmark was nominated for a Danish Design Award 2020, in the category Better Learning.
Walking the streets of Copenhagen you might see some of his murals in the Danish capital. Michael exhibited work in Denmark and Sweden.
