New Collection Coming Soon...

New Collection
​Coming Soon...
Picture
I have a new collection of original pieces in progress and they should be ready by early-to-mid-Spring 2023...

It's going to be the first collection I've released that will feature a variety of different styles and media - until now I've only ever released collections in single styles and media.

For this new collection I want the varying styles to complement and contrast one another to form an overall visual experience across the range of pieces. 

​So the new collection is going to feature some pieces that have a very bold and vibrant look, others pieces will have a more subtle and ethereal look, some will be carefully planned and considered whilst other will be more scrappy and spontaneous.

There will be various media too - drawings, paintings, paintings on paper, paintings on wood, pastel art, sticker art, 2 dimensional art, 3 dimensional art, and maybe even some furniture too... ;)

​I've posted a few of the pieces that will be featured in the new collection below as a sneak peak to give you an idea of concept, and of course there will be more to come...

The new collection should be ready to view within the next few weeks or so - if you'd like to receive a email when it goes on general release then leave your name and email on the email update page: Email Updates

Speak soon,

Michael

New Collage - "Sticker Bomb Collage"

1/30/2022

New Collage -
"Sticker Bomb Collage"
ORIGINAL AVAILABLE
New sticker bomb collage called "Sticker Bomb Collage" - just recently finished this collage in a sticker bomb style...

The piece was created using off-cuts of stickers I'd used for the sticker montages on some Tobacco Tins I was creating.

​I didn't want to waste the excess that was trimmed off so I started layering the stickers up on a piece of board to create an abstract-expressionist-style collage from the off-cuts.

The piece measures 40cm x 50cm and is also framed in a black aluminium frame that nicely off-sets the colours and the textures of the stickers in the montage...







Hope you enjoyed this week's piece...

There will be another new piece posted here within the next week or so!

New Painting -
​"Blue, Black and Red Square Painting"
Blue, Black and Red Square Painting by Michael Carlton Artist Art 2022
New painting called "Blue, Black and Red Square Painting"

The painting features a series of geometrically-arranged squares, rectangles and stripes in a somewhat Mondrian-style:

The painting is on 9mm deep MDF wood and uses a combination of acrylic, emulsion and metallic paint:

Each of the shapes is also outlined using chalk marker pen which highlights the edge of the shape and also has the effect of making the ink look like it's cutting into the surface of the painting:

The surface of the painting is also covered with a gloss varnish finish which give it a polished sheen that gives reflections under the light:

New Ink Drawing - "Stone Rabbit"
New ink abstract-style ink drawing called "Stone Rabbit"...

I started this piece I think nearly 5 years ago and have only just got round to finally finishing it :D

I called it Stone Rabbit because to me it looks like there's the shape of a rabbit encased in stone just left of the middle of the picture...

​Hope you like the new piece - there will be more posted soon both here on the blog and also on social media.

Happy New Year + Art Updates for 2022
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2022 - I hope your year has gone well so far...
 
Apologies for not posting any art updates for so long - just wanted to post this quick update to say hi and let you know about some of the new art projects lined up for the year ahead...

Online/Social Media Exhibitions 
 
With all the disruptions and restrictions that have been taking place over the last year or so it's been a bit more difficult to hold exhibitions and events, so what I'm going to try and do during 2022 is post a new piece each week on my social media accounts as an ongoing and ever growing online digital exhibition wall:

I'm not usually that active on social media but this year I've made a New Year's resolution post more regularly especially as I've got a few new styles of paintings and creations that I'd be interested to see what people think of...
 
If you already follow my accounts on social media then I look forward to seeing what you think of the new creations - if you're not and would like to keep up-to-date with the new pieces as they're created then check out the links to social media accounts below:

New Raffle Prize for Spring 2022
 
It's also been a while since I've held an art give-away so I'm going to be holding another prize draw within the next few weeks which will be open to everyone subscribed to the mailing list.
 
I'm currently in the process of selecting the prize for the draw, but as soon as I have I'll be in touch again soon with details of how to enter your name to win!

New Raffle Coming Soon...

Live Feed Art Videos
 
Something I've been meaning to do for a while is a live feed of art pieces as they're being created so that the viewer can see all the steps of a piece being created live and in real-time...
 
Whenever I go live with a new piece I'll put a notification up on social media or send and email alert to those who've expressed and interest and then the live creation can begin!
 
If this is something you'd be interested in following then let me know and I'll send you a quick notification to let you know when it's up and running...
Live Art Videos Coming Soon...

So that's about all that's lined up so far for 2022, but as the new ideas and projects come in and take shape I'll be sure to keep you updated with the latest photos, videos, details of the new creations!
 
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2022 once again, and I will be in touch again soon with details about the raffle etc!
 
Speak soon,
 
Michael
