Michael Salter (born 1967) is an American contemporary artist and educator. Salter works in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, digital art, animation, kinetic sculpture, and sculptural assemblage. His work often references and subverts the visual language of corporate branding and graphic design, and reflects his desire to, in his words: "sort out the cacophony of visual noise in order to rethink meaning, motive, perception and narrative." His work has been described as postmodern, whimsical, quirky, unsettling, cryptic, and thought-provoking. Salter is perhaps best known for his giant Styrobots - a series of site-specific installations which rise ceiling-high to dominate their space.

dbp:text
  • Salter seems to toy with the replicable quality of a culture represented by freshly designed or appropriated images. (en)
  • My work is an attempt to slow down, sort out, and focus information. The seemingly simple, runs away from me so fast, and leaves a cloud of dust so thick, I have to stop and wipe my eyes. (en)
  • I love this kind of twisted narrative in the real world, and it's everywhere, it's just absolutely everywhere- from the bread on the shelf, to the shoes we wear and the clothes...Our current visual culture, I think, is just an absolute mess. I don't propose there's any cure for it, I just propose that maybe I can find some sort of peace with it if I go out there, I sort of throw a net through all of what I see, and I come back to my studio and re-synthesize this- and then I bring it back and deliver it again. (en)
  • Salter's cryptic paintings and installations had a detached quality-cool, precise, seemingly mechanically produced. They were also very compelling and often strikingly funny but with a dark sense of humor. (en)
  • I have a long history of using whatever is around...And it can be confused with being sort of the champion recycling guy and I'm not. I just use what's around. And I think that's actually a better idea of sustainability in the end. (en)
  • One might compare Salter's icons to the work of Matt Mullican, who has his own cryptic vocabulary of symbols. But I prefer to think of Salter as a kind of postmodern René Magritte, mocking our smug attempts to reduce complex human reality to a simple, black and white stereotype. (en)
  • The artist seems to be making a comment about the power of branding in our lives...At the opening to his show...someone thought they recognized the umbrella in one of his works. According to Melissa Nardiello, NBMAA marketing and design manager, "They said 'Ah, you're influenced by Travelers insurance' and he said, 'No, you are influenced by Travelers because you see that, where I just see an umbrella.'
