Michael Portley
| Date of Birth: | 10 July 1970 |
| Origin: | Brisbane, Australia |
Michael Portley is predominantly a painter of the Australian landscape, however, the scope of his ideas and practice, when interpreting the environment, is not limited to formal notions of site-specific representation. The landscapes that Portley paints accept that virtually all of our environment has been impacted by human actions and in so many cases are not in essence natural but constructed environments.
