The Animal Art Fair hosts this exhibition of new works by Michelle McCullagh at Gallery 8 and what an exciting body of work it is. She describes her distinctive style saying “I started with studies of anatomy. I amalgamated these studies with those of movement onto canvas and then added colour, which is always so exciting – I love it. Layers of thinly applied oil paint construct different moods and emotions … excitement out of reach… lost in mist… just a fleeting glimpse… passed in a flash then gone. It is a thrilling process as the paintings literally come alive in my hand.”
