Self portrait eh?
If I were he, I'd be spending a bit of all that lolly on some plastic surgery; cos as my dear ol' Gran used to say (Gord rest 'er soul) 'He ain't no oil painting'...

Hopefully he was referring to a certain watercolor work called "Kyoto", the same one that was sold on ebay for 4k and keep on re apering @ 18k...
I really like Micallef Head work as well as the mass consumerism subject, all the weapons/guns... dont do it for me.
I like this painting but prefer the charcoal studies.

Micallef Original, by jonpud on Jul 26, 2007 12:38:14 GMT 1, Ho dear ! That looks very dodgy ... If you know anything about Micallef - which seems unlikely given your comments - you will be familiar with his self portraits, which are light years ahead of Judgement Day and Friendly Fire. If this image is a precusor to these future self portraits then it has huge significance in Micallef history. Same same goes for Kyoto, which, incidentally, is guache and charcoal and not a water colour. A little research goes a long way my friend
I don't think anyone would disagree with you regarding the importance of this piece, quite obviously done very early in his career, but IMO art you want to look at every day has to make you feel good, make you smile and generally lift you. To spend 28k on something that you just don't like and would not enjoy looking at, simply because it is 'important' is madness and something for the galleries to do for all the public to appreciate for what it is.
And as much as I love much of Micallefs work (some more than others) I just don't like this.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, it doesn't mean they know nothing about the art in question!

What the hell are you talking about?
You quoted my comment who has nothing to do with Micallefs work but with the innuendo above that. You seems to catched the wrong end of the stick here and put thing way out of context.
READ rather than assuming facts, it might be wiser to know before any quick judgement.
By the way thanks for giving us a insight on the Kyoto piece, I believe it is gouache, not guache, is it yours ?

But I still quite like it!!! If I had a spare ยฃ28k I would consider it and I would definitely buy Wezzley a bed!! ;D ;D ;D
Still also think someone will make money on it.
