Mychael Barratt Painter, Printmaker

Born in Ontario, Mychael grew up in Winnipeg, studying at the Symposium School of Art, followed by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and Central Saint Martin's College of Art. His appetite for adventure took him to England in 1984, and he has been living and working in London since then.

"I draw on inspiration from sources as diverse as fairy tales and Shakespearean dramas to paintings by 'Great Masters' and 1960's pop culture”.

Mychael's work captures the imagination by lifting famous scenes and characters, reflecting his passion for literature, music, theatre, film ... and word-play. Of his current work, Mychael writes “The titles are an integral part of the process, narrative themes and an irreverent sense of humour run through all of my prints and paintings”.
