ANTONY MICALLEF – A LITTLE PIECE OF ME
2012-03-26A Little Piece of Me’ consists of ten new examples based on his ongoing ‘Head’ series, each titled ‘A Little Piece of Me’ one to ten. Antony paints his Head pieces at the beginning of a painting process and is his way of getting his creative juices flowing, they serve as a way of capturings a certain sentiment – or vehemence.
Antony’s relationship with the Head paintings is spontaneous, intimate and physical: “The end result is never known before I begin. The mark making creates the expression of the face, changing it with each stroke. I’m constantly picking up the canvas, turning it around, trying to control the drips and throwing it back down.” The Head paintings endure a rigorous edit, and many are destroyed before they make it on to gallery walls.
Exhibition runs through to April 28th, 2012
