Exhibit Showcases New Mural From Boston Mural And Comics Artist Michael Talbot

Exhibit Showcases New Mural From Boston Mural And Comics Artist Michael Talbot Free Reception Nov. 17.

"What would you say to Time if you got the chance?” Michael Talbot asks in his new exhibition, “Conversations With Time,” at Cambridge Arts’ Gallery 344 from Nov. 17, 2025, to Jan. 16, 2026. Join us for an opening reception on Nov. 17 from 5 to 8 p.m., with a poetry reading at 6 p.m. Admission to all events is always free.

The exhibition showcases new paintings by the Jamaican-born, Boston-based artist as well as Talbot’s design for his upcoming mural at Cambridge’s Gold Star Mothers Park, between Gore Street and Rufo Road. The park mural is funded through the City of Cambridge’s first-in-the-state Percent-for-Art Ordinance, which requires that 1 percent of city capital construction costs be designated for creating site-responsive public artworks.

Talbot is known for his murals throughout the Boston area, including at Cambridge Crossing, Boston Children’s Hospital, and the New England Patriots Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. He has collaborated with some of the most prominent mural artists in the region, including Rob "ProBlak" Gibbs, Genaro "GoFive" Ortega, Lee "Soems" Beard and Ricardo "Deme5" Gomez.

In the exhibition, explore the full range of Talbot's art—murals, painting, graphic design, comics, and community-based collaborations.

“Conversations With Time” is inspired by “Atlas,” Talbot’s three-part graphic novel series about cosmic guardians tasked with maintaining reality, including the orphan Atlas, who discovers she has the ability to control and manipulate time. With this discovery, she now has a choice to make - accept the mantle and responsibility of being the Guardian of Time itself, or give it all up to live the life she imagined for herself with the people she loves.

In the exhibition, Talbot’s paintings burst off the edges of his canvases and across the gallery walls to create an immersive space of magic necklaces and swirling energy. Talbot’s art invites visitors to pause and consider how shifting perceptions shape our memories and daily lives through moments of déjà vu, presque vu, and jamais vu, when perception bends and time feels elastic.
