Michael Hill
Born: May 30th 1985, Salford - Gtr. Manchester, UK
Lives/Works: Dublin, Ireland
University of Salford, Visual Arts BA
The birds, beasts and strange characters that populate Michael's work have migrated from mythology, folk stories, popular culture, great plains and deep seas. When they meet together, in his drawings and paintings, new histories and false myths are created. His practice has an innocence and naivety that recalls childhood nostalgia but a bizarre and slightly surreal nature that creates a peculiar tension within his work.
Michael works primarily with painting and drawing materials on everyday objects.
