Mike Meier's work examines media, art history and popular culture to explore the American psyche. He earned a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. His practice merges fine art traditions with raw, reactionary energy, drawing on satire, emotional intensity and cultural critique to probe power, violence and belief systems as American identity.
