Michael O’Reilly (b. 1988, UK) graduated from the Royal Academy Schools. He is a painter and a scenic artist for the Royal Opera House. His hallucinatory landscapes playfully investigate the psychological impact of hot, dark and remote climates and are reminiscent of literature from authors such as H.G. Wells and William Golding.
