Growing up in Atlantic City in the 1960s, Mike Bell had a front-row seat for the town’s lively cavalcade of entertainment. The splashy fun gave Bell a passion for brilliant colors and surprising imagery that today shows up in his art. About five years ago, Bell lost his job as an art director and turned his focus to painting. His vibrant canvases—some as large as 4 feet by 4 feet—depict movie icons, comic-strip heroes, even monsters, often sipping brightly hued cocktails and this beautiful art box presented in Atlantic City.
