Life on Venus | The Landscape, Timed Auction

Considered abstracted ruminations on the cyclical changes in a garden, Michele’s work is informed by the natural world. Relying on visual memory, the paintings lie at a point where the abstract touches the familiar. She works in series, distilling form and colour into a rhythm that moves across the surface of the support. The work is shaped through choices dictated by ground, colour and mark making – the entire process building upon itself.

Originally from Canada, Michele trained at Goldsmiths College and the Chelsea College of Art & Design. She is in numerous collections including the University of the Arts, Ernst and Young, The Groucho Club and Soho House. She is an invited artist member of the Contemporary Arts Society. She has been shortlisted for the John Moores Painting Prize 2020.
