Michael Hlousek-Nagle
I am an artist based in
London. My work adopts
the language of the
Western figurative
tradition, in the belief
that the depiction of the
human being is still
relevant, still a source of
beauty, and remains a
sure way to explore the
fundamental questions
of life, the joyful spectacle
of human failure, love,
mischief, violence, and
desire. I believe that paint
is still a valid resource
and a beautiful medium.

My sources range from
fairytales through to
Biblical texts, true crime,
the occult, and early
photography.
