Artist 

Michael’s current work explores aesthetics, space, and colour through painting. While primarily examining themes of short term / working memory, meditative reflection, and the  interplay of positive and negative space in a composition. 

After a decade in Education, he has moved away from representational drawing, and focuses on abstract concepts. The slow process of painting and minimal brush contact with the canvas, are deliberate, as the mark making leads the viewer’s eye around the through the work.
