M I C H A E L S O L EPower, Light & Luminosity
Interested in nature and the re-eval-uation of its painterly tradition, Sole’s work explores painting as a process us-ing the great outdoors as a subject mat-ter. To gain inspiration he places himself into the environment he paints, enabling him to bring thoughts, ideas, and the physical presence of the landscape back into the studio as a transferral process.
“The sea and the sky are fascinating to me, especially in extreme circumstances, storms etc. In painting I feel very strongly that energy must be met with energy. By this I mean big seas and powerful subject matter benefits from energetic, physical and confident painting which usually in-cludes allowing the paint to have its own way, without using a brush. Dripping, pour-ing, throwing, lifting, shaking etc all add to these involuntary effects. Through these processes and techniques I hope to cap-ture the power and atmosphere of the en-vironment that I have placed myself into”.
Since graduating from a BA in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Art in 2008, Mi-chael has gone on to exhibit in group and solo shows across England and France. In 2010 he was awarded “Young Artist of the Year” by the Royal Society of Marine Art-ists for his work exhibited in a group show in the Mall Galleries, London. An artistic maturity belies the youth of this rising star.
