Abstraction series two #007 Photograph - Limited Edition of 7

Michael's practice centres around his abstraction of reality to explore concepts about being human. By using a hybrid of techniques and utilising skills in multiple disciplines he creates an emotional connection with the viewer by entering into the realm of ambiguity, a place where he believes an intangible beauty resides. Portraying a concept in a visually poetic way and delivering the photographic component as more of an artful process rather than just a record. He has always been visually driven, from discovering faces within the patterns of his bedroom wallpaper as a child, to his visually arresting images he has created throughout his career as an art director. Although very much an emerging artist, (Michael won Capture magazine’s top emerging art photographer 2018), he has had two exhibitions at Edmund Pearce Gallery in Melbourne, had work hung twice in the NPPP at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, at the Head On Portrait Prize, and at the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize at the NSW State Library, amongst many others.
