Everything is Fine, an exhibition by Australian artist Michael Stiegler, presents a series of mixed-media works combining ink drawings and collage. Blending fashion imagery and urban snapshots with mischievous, surreal creatures, his work captures a chaotic yet playful energy inspired by downtown New York culture.
Australian artist/photographer - based in New York and Australia. Michael studied fashion design and worked as a photographer’s assistant in Sydney and NYC. His frenetic painting, illustrations and mixed media compliment his edgy photographic style, as his surrounds heavily influence each discipline.
His works combine his appetite for art, fashion and photography with an energetic street-art appeal where he says, ugliness and beauty coexist, just as they do in reality. Michael uses his works as commentary on the excess of contemporary culture, portraying the vulnerability, desire, anxiety and lust for consumption in a modern world.
