Michael Vale is a Melbourne based contemporary artist best known for his eerie absurdist figurative paintings. Sublime landscapes occupied by a cast of strange cryptids: Masked ghostly entities, figures wrapped in bandages, skeletons smoking pipes all participating in an obscured ever unfolding narrative of humour, horror and mystery. With a professional art career spanning over four decades, Michael has held 22 solo exhibitions, has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize three times, and won a number of prestigious art prizes including the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize.
