About the artist:
Currently based in Los Angeles, Michael Kalish gained recognition for his transformation of ordinary, everyday objects such as license plates and tailgates into meaningful works of art that reference a broad spectrum of American culture from political issues to cultural icons.
In 2014, Kalish started creating his most recent series of signed and numbered limited edition dimensional wall sculptures, standing sculptures, etc. The dimensional wall sculptures are created with layered laser cut aluminum or colored acrylic with depths ranging from 5 to 12 inches deep.
One of his most daring and bold expressions of the force of nature known as love, Kalish created "THE ART OF FINDING LOVE", a 20 foot x 6 foot x 6 foot interactive sculpture, which debuted in Los Angeles and then graced the entrance to Context Art Miami in 2017 and the LA Art Show in 2018. Kalish has designed this contemporary sculpture so that the viewer must find the exact vantage point where the sculpture is no longer abstract and "Love" literally comes into focus. This led Kalish to create a series of seven foot tall vertical versions of this sculpture in a variety of colors, including chrome, brushed gold, red, and chrome and red.
Kalish also created “reALIze”, a large-scale multi-dimensional Muhammad Ali sculpture situated in downtown Los Angeles in 2011. The monument is larger than life, as is Ali’s legacy: an appropriate testament to the essence for the legend the world has come to know, simply, as “The Greatest.” The breath-taking effect is an enormous, 360-degree, two-story structure composed of five miles of stainless steel cables, two miles of aluminum tubing, and 1300 boxing speed bags.
Kalish has been the featured in the NY Times, The ARTnews Review, Wired Magazine, Time Magazine, The LA Times Magazine, People Magazine, Hollywood Life Magazine, US Weekly, American Way Magazine, Elle Magazine, Art in America and USA Today. He has also made TV appearances on CBS Sunday Morning and CNN’s “Route to the Top”.and hosted Discovery Channel’s “Final Offer” TV series. Kalish has had several museum exhibitions and his work is in countless prominent public and private art collections around the world. Collections include major NY private collections, the US Embassy in Moscow, Ford Motor Company Collection, Coca-Cola Corporation Collection and many more.

Michael Kalish
When Michael Kalish reimagines an abused license plate or a vintage fender of a sun-faded farm truck, he transforms these discarded materials into striking art. His works are masterful while endearingly mindful, with a wink to Pop art masters such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. He raises repurposing to a culturally and socially conscious new level.
Kalish was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1973. He later attended the University of Rhode Island and Kennesaw State University in Georgia, majoring in psychology and minoring in art. After finishing school, he realized that if he wanted a career in art, he would have to do something to stand out. He decided to select a unique medium that would grab the attention of curators and the public.
He stumbled upon an old license plate in a junkyard, which sparked his interest. The color, texture and reflective shine drew him in, and he began to search for more. The first piece he created with the license plates was an American flag, which was exhibited by a small gallery. In 1996, he made a series of license plate portraits of several U.S. presidents, which were displayed in the windows of the Barney’s department store in New York City.
Kalish relocated to Los Angeles, where he continues to work with salvaged metal objects, fashioning them into beautiful roses, bowls of fruit, pop icon portraits and abstract pieces. His Raise the Caliber monumental public work — made of reclaimed guns — garnered high praise for its statement against violence. In 2017, his Art of Finding Love series of interactive abstract sculptures toured various outdoor locations in California.
