J. Press Icons: Michael McGregor

 Michael McGregor is a Los Angeles-based visual artist renowned for his vibrant still life depictions of every day objects in a signature illustrative, graphic style. McGregor turns mundane, everyday moments into reflection and appreciation with his vibrant color palate and diverse use of medium. His two latest collections utilize restaurant menus and hotel stationery, personally collected by him, as the canvasses—each wearing the creases and stains of their own journeys. Such appreciation for mundanities and small objects defines the beauty of Michael’s work. This “lived-in” feeling translates to his sense of style as well—seen by his paint-splattered loafers, worn in his studio and at gallery openings alike.
