As a painter and photographer Michael Wolfe draws inspiration from the landscape around his home in Castlemaine, Victoria. He has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally and his work is included in public, corporate and private collections.
“My work is simultaneously abstract and representational, classical and modern, formalist and expressionist. Discarding the traditional foreground, middle ground and background of European landscape painting, I frequently dispense with the horizon line altogether. I love to flatten the picture plane, adopting an elevated or aerial viewpoint over a scrubby, irregular landscape without a focal point. Although this aerial viewpoint may share some sensibilities with the Papunya dot paintings, they are also informed by cubism and other modernist traditions.”
