About M Kungl

21st Century Art Deco – A Fresh Twist on a Classic Era

After completing his education in fine art and graphic design Mike applied his apprenticeship to achieve a successful career in advertising. Spending over two decades creating award winning logos, package design and illustration for companies such as Panasonic, Johnson & Johnson, Toshiba and Nissan Motors, Kungl began to focus on fine art full time.

The inspiration for the Kungl's fine art paintings was derived from the period between 1920 and 1945, where the touch of Art Deco was everywhere, and many of America's most famous architectural landmarks, such as New York's Chrysler and Empire State Buildings and San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, continue to bear the stamp.  In the 21st century, M Kungl has revived the style in his widely acclaimed artwork, infusing it with a modern vitality and relevance. Kungl's work has attracted the attention of Hollywood and art collectors from around the world.

Over 25 of his paintings were featured in the Art Deco home of Ashton Kutcher's reality show Beauty and the Geek, and his artwork has been used to furnish sets in numerous popular television shows including CSI, Star Trek, Gilmore Girls and most recently the prime time CBS hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory.  Kungl has also produced large bodies of work for StarWars, WarnerBros. and Disney, including Tinkertini, which features the famous fairy perched on a martini glass. In addition, he created 28 works of art for a permanent installation at The World of Disney, Paris, including ten murals and eight exterior bas reliefs.
