Collaborating painters, Mike Swatt and Mike Barletta are looking for venues and events to bring live art to. 

Live Painting gives people a perspective on contemporary art that normally remains hidden in the artist’s studio.  We bring the whole process, from blank canvas to finished product, out for all to see.  We are capable of finishing work in as few as 2 sessions or making multiple trips for more elaborate pieces. Our paintings are large, typically 5x6 feet in series of 2 to 5 pieces and we make every canvas from scratch.  

Combining 2 distinct styles of geometric and organic shapes composed over sweeping backgrounds, we jump from one canvas to the next building a dialogue.  We work fast and adapt to whatever situation is happening around us – a true reflection of the environment is always produced.  From nightclubs to art events, museum functions and private gatherings, we are eager to bring live art to your environment.
