Antony Micallef • The Union of Animals, by Daniel Silk on Sept 28, 2022 0:06:53 GMT 1, avantarte.com/products/the-union-of-animals
Antony Micallef The Union of Animals Antony Micallef offers a darkly seductive vision of a still life in The Union of Animals.
$1,476 Edition of 30
Micallef took three years to complete the original painting, building up each layer of heavy impasto slowly. Fields of rich colour are framed by exposed canvas, drawing the eye to the centre of an explosive, dripping union of forms. Each print is hand-finished in glossy black oil paint – evoking the highly textured surface of Micallef’s original paintings.
“I see The Union of Animals as something of a forced mutation, created by us in the image of our ideal – mixing motifs of perceived beauty within art and vanities.”

Antony Micallef • The Union of Animals, by The Rat King on Oct 5, 2022 10:37:09 GMT 1, The hand finishing looks a little Token esque and does nothing to capture the years of layers that goes into his work
I’d much prefer one of his head pieces While I do like it il be keeping my £1300 for something else But good to see the start of this relationship working with coriander let’s hope there’s another one soon
