Michael Riddle is a Brisbane based contemporary artist who was born in London in 1971 and immigrated to Australia in 1998. Working chiefly in sculpture and object based practice, Michael's fascination with materials, process and form act as a driver in an art practice that excavates into areas such as metaphysics and the human condition where chance, slippages and accidents are encouraged. He sees the works as identifying markers, purposely deposited along an often confusing path between the physical self and a complex and oscillating world of biographical experience and emotion.
Michael completed a Masters of Fine Art at Queensland University of Technology in 2019. Recent exhibitions include Everything's Broken (2014, Jan Manton Art, Brisbane) and Closed Systems (2012, Jan Manton Art, Brisbane). Recent group exhibitions include the 15 Artists (2015, Moreton Bay Regional Art Awards) and the Redlands Konica Minolta Art Prize (2013, National Art School Gallery, Sydney).
