Mychael is a story-teller; part of a long tradition of narrative arts which stretches from cave-paintings to Goya to Chagall. Born in Canada, Mychael has settled in London, the city he now calls home; indeed a lot of his work features the city as backdrop or character. Painting has lately enabled Mychael to concentrate on the visual poetry in his work. He has recently completed a collection of oil paintings which were exhibited in London, and his gentle wit and technical competence shown in the printmaking is carried through to the paintings. So accomplished is Mychael as a printmaker that he uses slow and complicated techniques with a lightness of touch that completely disguises any complexity, and looks both fresh and spontaneous. He uses the language of etching with true fluency, and like all the best printmakers, the printed mark is essential to his personal vision.
