Michael Pettit at the Joao Ferreira Gallery

Acclaimed artist Michael Pettit brings a new abstract exhibition to the Joao Ferreira Gallery, one that deals with the linked forces of life and death

Michael Pettit is a well-established professional artist who has exhibited widely over many years, including recently at the Art London Fair in the UK.

His works have received extensive recognition and are included in the collections of numerous universities and workplaces, as well as in various public displays.

Pettit's work has always been richly figurative, so his recent exploration of abstraction is an intriguing new departure.

The large mysterious works that will be exhibited at the Joao Ferreira Gallery are rich in paint and process, and have been described as rhapsodic and timeless.

The paintings address the elemental processes of becoming and dissolving, the linked forces of life and death.
