'Ole' by Michael Dix
Acrylic paint and graffiti stickers on concrete slither. Featuring street art stickers by ‘Fin DAC’ and ‘El Pez’ and Michael’s hand-painted trademark bee, this mixed media painting is an exercise in time and patience. The work started as a slither of concrete, elements of paint and stickers were added and then removed. Over a period of months the piece reached an ‘equilibrium’ whereby the bee was finally added.
Size- 230(H) x 180mm (W) (framed). Michael Dix is an artist and designer based in Dundee. ‘Scale’ forms the central core of Michael's work. Concentrated, articulate, complex pieces of nature and other overlooked objects are painted over pristine white backgrounds, ordinance survey maps, and glass. Michael has developed meticulous techniques which cause the viewer to question how the work is created, or if what they are looking at is real. Michael has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and his work can is found in collections throughout the world.
