Directory profile: Mike Welton Painting and Prints
My work transforms the usual urban landscape into an extracted slice of design and color, thus the name "Urban Extracts" for my painting series. I travel to different cities to capture their urban architecture in photographs to then help guild me to translating them into oil paintings. One can think of these painted areas of buildings as almost abstract in the detail and construction of color. I also paint signage. Having been a graphic designer by trade and formal education I love letter forms and old signage from the 40's though 60's. Enjoy them and then look at your cities in a different way.
