'Bibendum', or Michelin House is one of my favourite buildings in London, dating back to 1911. It was originally the headquarters of the famous tyre company .
This piece is created from an original photograph of the beautifully Art Deco building. The photograph is digitally manipulated to trace the outlines and then painstakingly coloured. It is then printed directly onto a delicate sheet of aluminum, which gives the piece an etched appearance. The vivid blue/purple sky contrasts beautifully with the silver of the aluminium.
Bibendum is made to order. It can usually be created in around 2 weeks. An aluminium subframe on the back makes it incredibly easy to hang.
Michael Wallner has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art both in their art gallery and online.
Michael has spent more than twenty years in the media industry working on entertainment programmes, talk shows, documentaries, animations and a children’s novel. But creating original and innovative art is his true passion. His latest work celebrates the beauty of the city through the shapes, outlines and colours that define its character. London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Miami, Paris and Dubai all feature in Michael’s portfolio. The art is created by digitally manipulating and colouring his own photographs to produce unusual prints on aluminium, reclaimed wood, brass, even 1930’s copper-lite windows. He also creates neon, magnetic, and L.E.D installations. The metal pieces are printed on very thin sheets of brushed aluminium, giving the work an etched appearance. Michael works out of his studio at Wimbledon Art Studios in South London.
Recent exhibitions include The Affordable Art Fair (Battersea, Hampstead, Singapore, New York, Milan), The Other Art Fair, and The Open Studios Show at Wimbledon Art Studios, amongst others.
