The paintings embody two opposing elements - oil and aerosol, abstraction and representation, chaos and control, constantly see-sawing back and forth."

It’s A Wonderful World by Antony Micallef

Featuring Antony Micallef

This autumn, acclaimed artist Antony Micallef will be bringing his own unique style of painting Lazarides gallery with his first UK solo show ‘It’s A Wonderful World’.Pieces in the show deal with the subject of portraiture in a dark and slightly twisted way: human forms are placed in artificial, unnatural environments that are influenced by the many guises of branding and popular culture. The paintings combine skilled brushwork with references to old masters and Japanese graphic design.Micallef’s work examines modern society’s dichotomous relationship with consumerism, examining how people maintain to despise multi-national brands, yet still allow themselves to be seduced by them. His works make extensive use of corporate logos and icons from popular culture, which lend a very special style to his paintings.

Donwood draw some of his inspiration for "London Views" from the 1493 Nuremberg Chronicle. One of the earliest printed books, The Chronicle – by Hartmann Schedel – was a primitive world history, accompanied by 1,804 lavish woodcuts.
