Mychael Barratt | Wes Anderson's Dogs

26 February - 1 March

We are excited to present an evening with Mychael Barratt, we will be discussing and celebrating one of Mychael's most interesting and stylish of inspirations: the cinematography of Wes Anderson. 

 

The appeal for Mychael in Wes Anderson’s imagery lies in its satisfying symmetry, carefully curated colour palettes, handcrafted storybook aesthetic, and emotionally restrained characters, all of which combine to create worlds that feel both nostalgic and self-contained. The perfectly centred compositions and balanced frames provide a sense of visual order and satisfaction which Mychael recreates beautifully in his imagined scenes, all featuring London landmarks, and of course... dogs! - Dogs which are placed front and dead centre and look out from Mychael’s work as unflinchingly as any of Anderson’s characters.
