Michael's imagery often has a dream-like quality in that objects
portrayed are removed from logical settings and placed in incongruous
ones. Subjects inhabiting his compositions are curiously at home in
their transformed environments. Michael believes that his painting
process is about conflict and resolution. The conflict involves the
layers of paint, each one masking the one before. The resolution results
from cracking, peeling and scraping away the paint - to view and
discover the fundamental composition. Michael’s works of paper combine
photographs, magazine transfers, collage, drawing and found objects.
Grounded in a single idea or theme, each is also a strong investigation
of composition and color.
