Michael Cameron's provocative images hover between abstraction and representation, spiked by acidic colour palettes and an energy trapped in motion. Cameron offers disruptions to the surface of his paintings, which serve to remind the viewer that they are not merely looking at windows into the mind of the artist, but the physicality of painting itself.
Soon after graduating in 1984 with a B.F.A. with honors, from the Ontario College of Art, Michael Cameron forsook the expected career path that lay ahead of him, for a more solitary studio practice free of outside influences. It is in Banff, Alberta where Cameron spent 14 years committed to his painting. Cameron currently resides in the creative community of Salt Spring Island. His work can be found in collections worldwide.
