Woolwich Print Fair

10/23/2022

0 Comments

 
Two artist's proofs of the drypoint 'Ecce Homo' will be included in the Woolwich Print Fair from 3rd - 6th November.
"Inspired by bivvy nights spent on the barren moors close to his home, a sense of ghosts from the distant past rising up from the ground to walk  amongst us, pervades much of Moor's graphic work"

Prayer For Ukraine

3/1/2022

​Prayer for Ukraine 🇺🇦 Conte, charcoal and acrylic 61x46cm

Forgive me reappropriating a previous drawing:
​The figure represents Mother Ukraine holding in one hand a sword from which sprouts new life and in the other a declaration of intent. Putin, the infantile despot in the background pisses into the wind. The howling gales of war rage while Mother Ukraine offers succour to the anxious boy and dogs.

It's been an unexpected pleasure to see my wine label art gracing many instagram posts.
Grim visions inspired by Goya's heart rending 'Little Prisoner' etching, printed in a little Yorkshire studio reaching high society across the globe. You just can never tell.

​My work has been included in Bradford's Big Screen event which will be shown throughout January and February in City Park. Three etchings and a statement will appear in loop sequence followed by  five other artists with three examples of their work.

The showcase has been organised by Colin Neville  with Bradford City Council to promote the best of culture in the region and is likely to play a key role in preparation for the City of Culture 2025 bid. The digital slide show begins at 12:30pm every day.


With thanks to Bradford T&A and Keighley News for their generous coverage of the event

Preparing work to take to Newcastle either framed or cellophane wrapped for the browsers. 34 in all. I'm looking forward to having space in the studio and house again which currently looks like a bric-a-brac store.

All the World's Energy

Following their visit to the Cliffe Castle exhibition  I had a studio visit from some friends, including my life drawing teacher from several years ago, Sheila Maddrell. She kindly gave a succinct appraisal of my work, something that is always difficult for an artist to step back a do themselves:

  'Mike is not afraid to confront the dark or horrific or sexual in humanity. By combining close observational drawing with flights
of fancy, references to art history and unexpected juxtapositions  he comes up with new and often disturbing images.
The quality of line in the drawing is interesting in its searching quality and rich variety. The images need time from the viewer so more things and thoughts can reveal themselves. They can be puzzling in a good way. Giving the work poetic titles adds yet another layer to the experience of looking.'
