michael muruste is an artist who works primarily in painting; exploring the interaction of natural world and industry

BVA — 1985

City Art Institute, UNSW

The majority of my paintings are oil on acrylic on canvas.

Thematically I often portray the interaction between the natural world and the industrial by exploring the language of painting. Some paintings combine the gestural with the geometric, these formalist combinations are often in bold colours and make for an easy progression between the figurative and abstraction, the familiar meets the unexpected.
