Michailov’s drawings are based an a close observation of the visible world, expect that he deliberatly places his focus on the mostly unconscious. The incidental, the overlooked, the unwanted, the partly repulsive becomes the object of desire, is reintepreted through graphic transformation and can thus perhapsbe seen as “beautiful” and experiance an increase in value. The “heaven panels”of the new series weak points (colored pencil drawings) function like a simulation configurator, in that one can assemble individual ceiling panels in different constellations virtually “by click”.
