Michael Dudgeon is a Glasgow based artist whose practice spans drawing, painting, and printmaking. He works predominantly with the human figure to create darkly humorous compositions that navigate shared experiences of fear, political frustration, and hopelessness. He sees gallows humour as a vital tool when attacking a corrupt power structure.

Drawing closely from the satirical and technical prowess of masters Goya and Paula Rego, his print work — across etching and lithography — explores expanded techniques to exploit the medium for its storytelling and (anti)propaganda power.
