Artwork Description

Mid Century Modern (MCM) is one of my favourite design styles. I love it for its simplicity, clean lines and dark timber.

My latest painting, a small interior, provides a glimpse into a MCM living room. The immediate focus is on the table, with a lamp and pinstripe vase, however as the viewer begins to take in the whole painting, other elements appear. The green velvet armchair, bookshelf with red vintage glass vase and MCM sculpture. Then the gold framed mirror which reflects the curtain and pendant light from across the other side of the room.

The painting has been framed in a custom made Blackwood floating frame which compliments the MCM theme beautifully.

Comes with a certificate of authenticity and is ready to hang in your space.

Artist Bio

Cath Michael is a Brisbane-based fine artist whose practice explores nostalgia, memory and mid-century modern aesthetics through contemporary realism and geometric abstraction.

Known primarily for her detailed realist paintings, Cath depicts still life scenes, mid-century furniture, vintage objects and retro interiors. Her meticulous approach captures the clean lines, textures and distinctive geometry of her subjects, transforming familiar objects and spaces into visual records of cherished memories and bygone eras.

At the heart of Cath’s work is a fascination with the emotional connection we form with objects and places. Through her paintings, she seeks to preserve these fragments of the past and evoke a sense of warmth, familiarity and nostalgia.

More recently, Cath has expanded her practice into abstract geometric works, drawing inspiration from the bold forms and iconic supergraphics of the 1960s and 1970s. Bringing a fresh perspective to her enduring love of retro design, these pieces are designed to sit harmoniously within both contemporary and mid-century modern interiors.

Cath’s paintings have been selected as finalists in numerous art prizes and exhibited in galleries throughout Australia, gaining recognition for their detailed craftsmanship, nostalgic character and timeless appeal.
