Antony Micallef offers a darkly seductive vision of a still life in The Union of Animals.

Micallef took three years to complete the original painting, building up each layer of heavy impasto slowly. Fields of rich colour are framed by exposed canvas, drawing the eye to the centre of an explosive, dripping union of forms. Each print is hand-finished in glossy black oil paint – evoking the highly textured surface of Micallef’s original paintings. 


“I see The Union of Animals as something of a forced mutation, created by us in the image of our ideal – mixing motifs of perceived beauty within art and vanities.”
