Body Politic - Painting and Sculpture by Michael Chance

About

- Large works in oil, charcoal and pastel which tackle a range of topical political themes, including migration, the housing crisis, media ownership and our relationship to the environment.

- A dialogue between the contemporary and the historical, drawing imagery and inspiration from sources ranging from Baroque figuration to post-modern cinema, English Romanticism to photojournalism. 

- Sculptures in plaster, clay and wax, which reach back toward figurative traditions of antiquity and are also expressive of the personal and political, but with a more minimal aesthetic approach.
