Antony Micallef is a British contemporary artist and painter working in London.
He appeared on the British art scene after being a prize winner of the BP Portrait Award competition.[1] Since then, his mix of political imagery fused with contemporary expressionism has won him worldwide acclaim.
Recent exhibitions include group shows at the Royal Academy and the Tate Britain.[2]
His paintings examine the contemporary relationship with consumerism and branding among other themes. His work concerns itself with what he sees as the "frivolities" of pop culture in a process that has been dubbed "critical pop".[3]
