Pacific Breeze II

Layers of household paint, translucent varnish, ready-made stencils, pop imagery and bold abstraction wrestle in Michael Stubbs’ paintings. He uses a technique of pouring the paints and allowing a certain loss of control to direct his work. Large stencils interrupt these random flows with fragments of words, images, or hand-me-down decorative motifs. 

‘I also want to mimic a sense of violent explosion in the painting because I want to explode painting. Painting’s identity is at an interesting crossroads and I try to reflect this through the painting’s chaotic visual spaces.’
