Michael MacMahon’s paintings present a range of possible approaches and perspectives by which to analyze not only the unique places we inhabit, but also their context in relation to ourselves. In combining both their geophysical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, these paintings reflect a living synthesis of people and place that is vital to understanding its past, present and future.
