Michael Laughlin is an artist working in both digital media and the tradition of classical portraiture. He is accomplished in painting, drawing and digital media.

Michael's neo-classical paintings document the human form celebrating those who live with HIV. He pays tribute to those whose bodies show the spectacular damage of life’s struggles, victories, punishments and rewards.

Michael's digital works deal with issues of visual culture, memes, entropy and metamodernism. Each work presents an oscillating narrative populated with cynicism and sincerity, apathy and empathy.
