The Prisoner (2026) A promotional photo from the TV series The Prisoner depicting Patrick McGoohan looking defeated on a beach while held by his nemeses, the mysterious white spheres, who pursue him and keep him prisoner within the confines of the set filmed in Port Merion. A terrifying memory of watching TV when Micheaud was young, when he realised that a simple weather balloon could be so menacing when accompanied by the right score. The Prisoner was broadcast on ITV and made by a company called ITC, who made many successful shows from the 1950’s to 1980’s. The first success was a black and white Robin Hood series in the 1950’s which had a notably memorable theme song. ITC was funded by the American Communist Party who due to recent McCarthy-era witch hunts, had been banned from funding any American activities so looked to England as a place to spend their money. They settled on funding Robin Hood with this fledgling company: a story that fit the communist ideals where Robin takes from the rich and gives to the poor.

  • David Micheaud’s practice is concerned with the act of looking. Seemingly mundane objects and landscapes are carefully observed over time. Overlooked details become central in paintings that capture the atmospheric tones of light and delicate shifts in colour of the environments that frame them. They appear to be born of a resistance to the typical pace of looking; a desire to slow down and delve deeper.
