From the artist's statement: "Sandow Birk has been concerned with the politics of contemporary life since graduating from the Otis Art Institute in 1988. With an emphasis on social issues, frequent themes of his past work have included inner city violence, graffiti, politics and civil rights, travel, war, and prisons, as well as surfing.
In 2023, Birk's work will be featured at Crystal Bridges Museum of Art, Detroit Institute for the Arts, and San Jose Museum of Art, among others. In 2022, Birk's White Out: New Paintings for the US Capitol debuted at Catharine Clark Gallery.
In 2001, Birk began collaborating with Elyse Pignolet. Pignolet is an American with Filipino heritage who attended California State University, San Francisco and graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University, Long Beach.
Birk has worked with Mullowney Printing since 2004 and has been represented by Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco, since 1994.
