Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look

The National Theatre on London's South Bank is one of the biggest inspirations for my art. Every time I visit I notice new angles and shapes. The simple Brutalist block shapes lend themselves to my style of work. The piece is created from an original photograph of one of my favourite views of the theatre, taken from Waterloo Bridge, with the Shard poking out in between the brutalist blocks. The image is digitally coloured by hand and printed directly onto super-thin brushed aluminium, which brings out the vivid colours. Using a variety of bold colours illustrates how many layers make up the overall composition. National Theatre (colours) is made to order. It can usually be created and delivered in around 10-14 days. 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.
