Michael McElroy- Only Angels

OPEN THIS WEEKEND!!

ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a self-taught artist, first putting brush to canvas about 6 years ago.
I would say I specialise in acrylic realism portraits and have mostly been producing paintings of sports athletes and other recognisable pop culture figures over the past few years.
I have been lucky enough to send some of my work to the athletes I paint and even meet them in person.

I have since wanted to diversify my skills and broaden my artistic range.
The bright, eye-catching nature of the pop art style is something that I have always appreciated and so I have been exploring this style of late, which is the inspiration behind this exhibition collection.
Also, as of the past year or so, I have painted various murals around Sydney and am always in the market for a fresh wall to paint!

ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION
I have a keen interest in the pop art style and which has inspired this exhibition collection with undertones of ATTITUDE.

There are several recurring motifs throughout the collection in the form of provocation, rebellion and seduction all portrayed through women in the form of red lips, red nails, cigarettes, tattoos and altogether expressions of attitude.

All these themes subvert the idea of an angel, hence the exhibition title “Only Angels”.
