Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
This oil painting is inspired by the work of Mark Rothko and also classical Roman and Greek paintings. The title 'Eikon' comes from the Greek word meaning amongst others 'image' or 'painting'. I have utilised various techniques to layer the paint and to create interesting shapes and patterns by utilising adhesive and tape. I have spent time creating different colour contrasts, for example in the top half of the painting, I have used deep browns, purples with a hint of copper. Again the copper can be seen in the green shape. The painting is unframed.

Michael’s work is simply about 'The Paint', alternating between both oils and enamels to create unique, colourful, contemporary, abstract paintings, which are visually powerful and striking to the viewer. His work 'My Soul is on Fire' was hired by Warner Brothers and features in the Men in Black International Film 2019. In addition he collaborated with other local artists for a commission at the communications company EE. He takes his inspiration from images of structures, landscapes, weather patterns and his personal experiences. Dependent upon his thought process, he instinctively works with the paint to create shapes and patterns with a palette of rich and vivid blends of colours. After reflection, he then goes on to develop these further, working towards a unique and original final composition. When painting with enamels he adapts rapid hand gestures, using his energy with his favourite tools, a 'Plasterers Float' and a 'Builders Trowel'. By both allowing and controlling the flow and mix of paints, dramatic, visually pleasing paintings are created. In addition he has started to experiment with a range of mixed media materials to create different surfaces and textures. Michael has commenced abstracting images from his work, to produce a range of fine quality prints, both open and limited edition. His print 'Prosopon' is currently displayed on the Saatchi on-line gallery in London. Michael has researched many artists and takes inspiration from artists such as Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, Max Ernst, Serge Poliakoff, Paul Klee, Sean Scully, Pierre Soulages, Gino Severina, Giacomo Balla, and Umberto Bocciono. He continues to develop his artistic practice and to produce work, which continues to be both visually powerful and creates an impact on all of those who view his work. He has sold work throughout the UK, Europe, USA and Australia.
