Michael Whitehead
Bio / CV
Michael Whitehead began work as a graphic artist in a prominent Melbourne design studio in the mid-seventies. Along the way, he taught in Victorian Secondary Colleges and eventually moved into owning and operating a screen printing studio. For the past number of years, he's been painting full-time with my work represented in Australian and overseas galleries.
"I like each brush stroke to challenge the previous one, the creation of deliberate tension, resistance and intensity are important to me. I might lay down large blocks of colour may be to capture or reflect light, and at other times employing a more subdued palette, so that the under-painting might appear to be attempting to break through to provide a glimpse of a secret world beneath. If the paint runs across a canvas it’s because I’m happy for it to go there or I may have even encouraged it to do so. Every stroke, every line, is intended to leave a record of its journey"
