Michael Caines

Michael Caines is a painter and filmmaker. His paintings, described by Eye Magazine reviewer R.M. Vaughan as being "rich and resonant as dark chocolate on a warm tongue", have been exhibited in galleries across Canada. His film and video work has been screened at festivals in Canada, the USA, Europe, Egypt, South America and Asia.

Over the past twelve years Caines' paintings have been shown at various artist run centers, including Open Space in Victoria, Artcite in Windsor, Forest City in London, and Art Space in Peterborough where he was also artist in residence. His work was included in the 1993 "Young Contemporaries" exhibition, sponsored by the London Regional Art Gallery, with a national tour.

In 1998 Caines received the Best Emerging Film/Video maker award at the Inside/Out festival, and was artist in residence for the Lo Fi/Sci Fi residency program at Charles Street Video with a screening at the Images Festival in 2001. Caines' recent film "The Boys Next Door", (co-directed with Keith Cole), was an underground hit in Toronto, and was infamously rejected by the New York Underground Film Festival as "Repulsive".
