Mike Bouchet

Mike Bouchet is an American artist based in Frankfurt, Germany, known for his provocative and often large-scale works that engage with consumer culture, excess, and the darker undercurrents of American society. His practice spans painting, sculpture, and installation, frequently appropriating and recontextualizing mass-produced imagery and materials to critique capitalism and cultural norms. He gained significant international attention with works like 'The Zurich Load' (2016), a monumental sculpture made from the compressed sewage of Zurich's residents.
