Michael J Bowman, Hyper-Psych Artist Bio


Michael J. Bowman was a hyper-psych artist and self-taught "musician" active from 1979-2023. As a self-taught "musician", Mr. Bowman created hours of experimental rock music that was distributed in small quantities during the cassette culture of the 1980s and 1990s. As a visual artist, using the pseudonym Velveeta Heartbreak, Mr. Bowman developed a hybrid of Psychedelic art, Outsider art, Abstract art, Surrealism, Pop-Surrealism, Lowbrow, Visionary art and Folk art that he dubbed Hyper-Psych Art. Between 1984 and 2015, Mr. Bowman created a large body of this work that was exhibited in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and sold to hundreds of collectors worldwide. Since moving to Adelaide, Australia in 2016, Mr. Bowman has continued to develop his theory of Hyper-Psych Art.

Mr. Bowman was born in Elk Grove Village, IL in 1962 and attended art school in Syracuse NY in the early 1980's. He is of the first artists to hang a painting in the now legendary Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. In 1990 he created paintings, posters and installations for the Lizard's Tail performance space and "Cat's Head" warehouse art events on the then un-developed Williamsburg waterfront. More recently, Mr. Bowman's large-scale drawings have been exhibited in several Brooklyn art galleries, including a 2005 solo show in the Williamsburg neighborhood.

The New York Daily News wrote "large drawings littered with psychedelic shapes and subversive punk slogans".

The L Magazine wrote "Bowman's approach to large scale drawing draws inspiration from the automatic drawing processes of the surrealists, street art, graffiti, outsider art, psychedelic art, and the art of the insane."

Arthur Magazine's Bull Tongue wrote "a hot bouquet of drawings and collages that range from extremely casual to speed-freak-detailed...some of them have a very ‘50s animation feel to them".

Juxtapoz Magazine wrote "outsider artist Michael J Bowman paints and draws with inspiration from 1970's album covers and from his dad's old collection of Renaissance books"

As a self-taught "musician", Mr. Bowman played drums for a variety of New York City punk and rock bands. In 1987, one of these bands, "The Hungry Dutchmen", won MTV's Basement Tapes Award. Mr. Bowman was also active in the "cassette culture" scene of the 1980s and 1990s, this time as a one-man-band, utilizing rudimentary 4-track tape technology to create experimental "outsider" rock music. Between 1989 and 2009, Mr. Bowman wrote, recorded and released 20 full-length cassette and CDR albums of experimental pop-rock on his homemade SemperLofi label, garnering dozens of rave reviews from the underground press. In 1990 the NYC magazine Musician's Exchange voted Mr. Bowman one of the year's "Best Unsigned Artists". A profile in the March 1996 issue of Alternative Press called Mr. Bowman's recordings "an acid-dosed cube of unrefined sugar". In the Summer of 2001, Mr. Bowman's recording "Joe" reached #2 on MP3.COM's IndiePop/LoFi chart. In 2006 the Velveeta Heartbreak single "I Shot The Invisible Man" was featured in The Village Voice's Pazz and Jop poll.
