SELECTED WORKS BY Michael Fullerton

Michael Fullerton
David Milligan (Surveillance specialist, Glasgow City Council, Housing Benefit Anti-Fraud Unit)

2004

oil on linen

90 x 70 cm

This portrait is of Glaswegian David Milligan - known amongst the artists community as the ‘dole spy’ for his undercover work for the Social Services.

Michael Fullerton
Vidal Sasoon's Mother

2003

oil on canvas

47.5 x 47.2 cm

Fullerton is a young Scottish painter, whose portrait has very little to do with Vidal Sassoon’s mother. His interest is in hair and Sassoon’s role at the forefront of “styling” in the seventies, and his emergence as a world brand. Fullerton is a political artist whose work indicates an off-kilter affection for his subjects.

Michael Fullerton explores the transmission and reception of information in its broadest sense. His materials and methods often refer to the tools and technologies of communication, such as newsprint or analogue recording, while his subject matter relates to the institutions and individuals involved.

He has painted the portraits of a number of eminent individuals, but his ambitions stretch far beyond the limits of traditional portraiture. In fact, his work may be seen as an investigation into some of life's great questions, such as the nature of truth, the reliability of evidence, the power of belief, and the relations between aesthetics and persuasion, information and knowledge.

Are you Hung Up? Exhibition by Michael Fullerton
Every superior human being will instinctively aspire after a secret citadel where he will be set free from the crowd, the many, the majority, where as its exception he will forget the rule ‘man’ - except in the one case in which, as a man of knowledge in the great and exceptional sense, he will be impelled by an even stronger instinct to make straight for this rule.
