Romance Isn't Dead

Theo Michael's first book records his journey as an artist and features over 50 of his most successful paintings, including Balcony With A View, Serenade, A Kiss Is Just A Kiss and many more. Created in his own personal cinematic poster style, the paintings capture the nostalgia of a time gone by in a genre often referred to as Art Noir. His love for Film Noir, 'B' movies and Pulp Art books is apparent. Many of Theo's landscape paintings are strongly influenced by the American illustrator Edward Hopper, beautifully capturing the effects of summer light. The book is full of sketches and preliminary work, revealing the working method of an artist. A perfect coffee table item, ideally suited as a gift.
