About the Item
In "March Gale No.31," Michael Sole captures the tumultuous energy of a powerful ocean storm, where swirling waves and shifting currents converge to create a mesmerizing tableau of movement and light. This captivating painting invites viewers on a journey of exploration and discovery, where the dynamic interplay of color and texture evokes the raw power and untamed beauty of the sea.
At the forefront of the composition, curving white lines dance across the canvas, tracing the frenetic movement of water as it churns and roils beneath the surface. Vibrant blue hues shimmer and shift, capturing the essence of the ocean in all its turbulent glory. As the eye explores deeper into the painting, the water grows darker and more intense, mirroring the escalating intensity of the storm.
Towards the horizon, the water fades into soft violet hues, where the sea meets the sky in a seamless blend of color and light. Whimsical clouds drift lazily overhead, their subtle texture adding depth and dimension to the scene. This juxtaposition of light and dark, movement and stillness, creates a sense of balance and harmony that draws the viewer into the heart of the storm.
"March Gale No.31" is more than just a painting—it's a meditation on the elemental forces that shape our world and the enduring resilience of nature in the face of adversity. Inspired by the ever-changing moods of the ocean and the ethereal beauty of the sky, Sole's masterpiece invites viewers to pause and contemplate the mysteries of the universe from a new perspective.

Artist bio:
Since earning his BA in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Art in 2008, Sole has made remarkable strides in the art world. His talent has been showcased in prestigious exhibitions across England, France, and America. Notably, he was honored as "Young Artist of the Year" by the Royal Society of Marine Artists in 2009 and 2010. He has also been recognized as a finalist and awardee in various prominent art competitions, including the 'Threadneedle Prize' and the 'Evolver Prize'.
Sole's artistic journey is deeply rooted in his fascination with nature and a desire to redefine traditional painting practices. He immerses himself in the outdoors for weeks at a time, observing and experiencing the landscapes firsthand. This intimate connection with nature informs his process, which he describes as a dynamic interaction between energy and environment.
For Sole, painting is more than just a technique; it's a philosophy he terms 'Involuntaryism'. This concept allows the paint itself, guided by the artist's expertise, to dictate the creation of organic textures and marks. Through this approach, Sole seeks to capture the essence and energy of his surroundings, letting the painting take on a life of its own.
Inspired by impressionism and the personal narrative of artists like Van Gogh, Sole aims to merge his presence with the paint itself, creating a symbiotic relationship between artist and artwork. This holistic approach infuses his body of work with a profound sense of authenticity and vitality.

“Nature is the base I experiment from using a method I call Involuntarylism.
Nature is a broad subject matter, yet I have homed in and focused on the parts that inspire me to experiment with materials and processes that not only interest me and produces original paintings, but completely satisfies me and highlights who I am as a person.
The concept behind my paintings completely relies upon the idea of involuntary mark making. How the materials react with one another and how I go about applying them to the canvas. With this concept in mind, nature, with its natural geometry, is the perfect subject as a base to experiment from. The idea of involuntarylism is allowing the paints characteristics and gravity to produce the marks, creating organic patterns, atmosphere and substantiation, allowing the painting to have a life of its own. As all my paintings are made on the floor, Involuntarylism is subject to me ‘puppeteering’ the paint, using gravity and built up knowledge of the materials and past experiences, to create the painting. The artist’s involvement is purely to manipulate the paint, canvas, colours and consistencies so as to exaggerate as strongly as possible the resulting organic textures and marks.
The image is starting to take more of a back seat role in my practice. Without the pressures of the image I can develop, push and explore the more interesting parts of my work and become more involved in the materials and processes which I think better replicate nature than image ever will. I have started to use gold and silver leaf in the under layers of the painting bringing a whole new dimension to my work.”- Michael Sole
