The acrylic painting ‘Self Model’ depicts, in a hyperrealistic style, a series of colourful ‘Vitaminwater’ bottles, whose vibrant labels and advertising slogans are rendered in minute detail. With painterly precision, Alan Michael transforms an everyday branded product into a symbol of the advertising and visual culture of our time. The work is listed in the catalogue raisonné under the number AM/P 217 and is in very good condition.
About the Artist Alan Michael
Stock photos, magazine fragments, urban surfaces, parked cars with mirrored architecture: the painting of Alan Michael (b. 1967 in Scotland) circles around whatever moves through the image-flow of the present. On his large canvases, 1980s fashion, Soviet propaganda, Minimalism and Pop intermingle; they often look photographic yet remain suspended between document and fiction. Michael studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee and the Glasgow School of Art, and lives and works in London. His work has been shown at Tate Britain in London and the Kölnischer Kunstverein, among others.
