The Rebuild

The sixth art exhibition by Michael Wight, The Rebuild, is set to open this January. The Rebuild is an exploration of the last four years, through painting, mixed media, photography and sculptural works.  

The Rebuild explores the end of the pandemic and the aftermath that followed into 2021. The pandemic left a hard reset for the artist and resulted in a major pulling back of independence and confidence. From there, the artist decided to prioritise his wellbeing in a variety of ways. This resulted in the carving out of a new path and pulling back the curtain on aspects of his life that had, until then, remained private. As explored in over 30 works of art, The Rebuild showcases that when you are given the chance to build your life exactly how you want, you can lose people and old facets of yourself along the way. 

The new mixed media artwork covers relationships, living with a lifelong disability, loss, mental health, fortified self-confidence and self-worth - in the hopes to offer some light and perspective on four very transformative years.

All are welcome to attend, to view a project which looks to offer the most authentic vision from the artist yet.
