ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Michael McGrath’s paintings are inspired by an interest in the history of place and his natural environment but also embodies a curiosity in the cults of mysticism, mythology and religion. An interest in the esoteric is balanced and presented alongside the more prosaic aspects of daily life with a playful sense of naivety. His painted faces often depict deities or the deceased, where ghosts and skulls naturally symbolise death and afterlife, but are rendered with a fair measure of acceptance and hope. McGrath imagines that “if there were gods, ghosts or magic, they would exist within nature and in the landscape; not just as beings in the sky, but also in the ground, in the trees, in the flowers and in the animals.”


Michael McGrath is an American artist and painter who lives and works in Rhinebeck, in New York’s Hudson Valley. He graduated from Ithaca College in 2000 with a B.F.A. in Fine Art and has most recently shown work in Rhinebeck, New York, Germany, Belgium, and in Beijing, China.
