Critical response
Critical response
Moritz Scheper has written that "The paintings of Scottish artist Alan Michael have now been confusing audiences for more than twenty years.... Strangely, Michael’s high standing in artistic circles does not correspond to the public perception of his work. In a good twenty years of permanent and consistent practice, he has accumulated just two slender (but brilliant) publications and a handful of articles in the specialized press." Isaac Moss has written of Michael's work that "Michael invites the viewer to overcome their familiarity and rethink what they are looking at." Rosie Lesso has said of his work that it "seeks out questions and complexities, not straightforward solutions".
