Michael McGrath (b. 1977) is an American artist living in the village of Rhinebeck in New York's Hudson Valley. His works are deeply rooted in themes of mythology, mysticism, and the supernatural. Drawing inspiration from religious art and folk symbolism, McGrath often incorporates bold, whimsical patterns and a childlike sense of wonder into his paintings. His pieces frequently feature surreal imagery, such as anthropomorphized animals, mystical beings, and abstracted natural elements, evoking feelings of both curiosity and unease. McGrath’s artistic journey reflects his fascination with the boundary between life and the unknown. His works often explore the coexistence of the natural and supernatural, blending vibrant colors and layered textures to create immersive, otherworldly scenes. Recurring motifs include floating heads, eyes, animals, and symbolic representations of decay and renewal, which highlight his interest in spiritualism and the metaphysical. He has exhibited internationally, including solo shows in China and group exhibitions in Europe and the United States. His art bridges the realms of personal emotion, mythology, and universal themes, offering viewers a chance to engage with the mysterious and the symbolic in new ways.
