Michael Halliday

“My paintings have an essence of their own. I allow the painting to develop based on my instincts, certain formal considerations, and any favorable accidents that may occur as a result of the paint itself.

Once in progress, I allow the painting to have a life of its own. I do not attempt to deny the fluid nature of the medium, but rather let it speak for itself; for it is the fluid, dynamic, sensual, and subtle nature of paint that is the driving force behind my work.”
