Michael Tole says of his work… This work draws a connection between the didactic moralizing tendencies of Neo Classicism (represented in the style of the painting) and Modernism (represented in the architectural setting). Though modern art eschews the naturalistic imagery used by Neo Classicists, both movements pursued a self-important, austere, self-consciously masculine aesthetic that they saw as synonymous with virtue. Set in the MoMA courtyard, a passel of men lounge about, regarding a golden statue which looks terribly out of place in this modernist vitrine. The uncomfortable architectural setting, prisonlike and cold, provides a foil for the odalisque-like young men sprawled on hard stone benches and paying homage to the central idol. In my current work, The Revisionist Histories, I am writing letters to art history, literature, and mythology in an attempt to reflect the social changes that have reshaped our society over the past century.  As part of this agenda, I explore the evolution of gender norms, power dynamics, and representation within Western visual culture and what this implies for the negotiation between pleasure, justice, and our culturally specific discourse on beauty.    The seed for The Revisionist Histories was sewn when I caught a glimpse of my preteen daughters watching music videos on their iPad as I chopped veggies for dinner.  Out of the corner of my eye I caught glimpses of music videos featuring Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Doja Cat gyrating across the tiny screen.  A better parent might have snatched the iPad away, but I was overcome with hallucinatory visions of this pop diva...

Title: Mid Century Modern Interior Design Presentation Gouache Meuble Mural Medium: Gouache ink and pencil on paper, unframed Size: 25.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: private collection Condition: Fair vintage condition. Noticeable creasing, edge wear and handling marks. Light foxing and surface dirt visible. Lower right corner slightly worn. Paper shows age toning throughout. Structurally sound but clearly a working design sheet. Description: A striking mid century French interior design presentation drawing titled Meuble Mural, depicting a modernist living room concept centred around a bold red wall unit. Executed in gouache, ink and pencil on artists paper, the composition presents a fully realised architectural perspective alongside a secondary floor plan study below, typical of professional design proposals from the 1950s or 1960s. The main perspective showcases a dramatic modern interior with clean architectural lines, floor to ceiling glazing, and a sculptural arrangement of low lounge chairs gathered around a circular table. The vibrant red wall unit forms the focal point of the composition, contrasted against muted grey walls and deep green flooring. The integrated shelving system, or meuble mural, reflects the era’s emphasis on built in storage and minimalist design. Stylised human silhouettes provide scale and reinforce the presentation quality of the work. Below, a monochrome floor plan reveals the spatial arrangement of the seating area and architectural elements, further confirming this as a professional design study rather than a purely decorative artwork. The careful use of colour blocking, perspective drawing and graphic typography aligns closely with mid century modern interior architecture, French modernist design and post war European decorative arts. This piece would strongly appeal to collectors of mid century modern design drawings, architectural presentation artworks, and interiors inspired by 1950s and 1960s French modernism. The presence of the French title Meuble Mural significantly enhances search visibility for collectors seeking original interior design concept art and vintage architectural renderings...
