Michael Restrick
UK based painter Michael Restrick explores classical themes, a source of artistic inspiration time and time again. He places the subject at the center of the composition, questioning what it means to be human, mortal sin, wrath, desire.
He says “The composition and structure of my work allows me to convey
a state of mind, the personality of the subject, while the symbols provide the viewer with a key to understanding the painting. Along with the figures in the painting, geometric shapes are used to balance out the composition and provide structure.”
Michael graduated with a Fine Arts degree from Winchester School of Art (Southampton University) in 2003.
Since, he has exhibited with Candid Arts, Espacio Gallery and most notably, Thompson’s Galleries ‘Featured Artist’ at their Autumn Exhibition in both 2017 and 2018.
