“The plaster, concrete and various mixed media paintings and sculptures exhibit strong elements of abstract expressionism and structured space. Colour, texture and a unique perspective contribute to a body of work that is skillfully executed in style and content.” AGORA GALLERY NEWYORK
“Mike's background in the Building Industry is of great influence to him as an artist. This current series of works, exhibited on London Art, directly examines and reflects the effects of manual labour on the building site and its effect on the skin. Rather than using traditional painting methods and mediums, Mike chooses to compound the imagery, using the very same materials and skills associated with the trade.” LONDON ART |
